Runtime properties

Guidewire PolicyCenter provides the ability to add or change application properties in real-time without restarting the application server. You add or change properties using the PolicyCenter Administration > Utilities > Runtime Properties screen. To be useful, you must link each runtime property with application code. Your application code must call an instance of the RuntimePropertyRetriever class and use one of its methods to retrieve the property value.

Each runtime property contains four fields:
  • Group
  • Name
  • Description
  • Value

You can also override the value of a property for a specific environment.

In the base configuration, Guidewire provides a RuntimePropertyGroup typelist that contains the following default typecodes:
  • configuration
  • integration
