TDS Configuration with Properties
A number of TDS configuration settings can be modified with Java system properties. Some of the
default values are defined in the TDS default properties file:
${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/thredds/WEB-INF/classes/thredds/server/tds.properties
Modifying the default values in the tds.properties file will change the settings
without using Java system properties. However, the TDS default properties file is located in the
webapps directory which means it will be overwritten whenever the TDS is upgraded. Any changes
made in this way will need to changed again whenever a new TDS is deployed.
The TDS configuration settings that can be set with Java system properties include:
