Configuring your applications

When you create an application, you will have a local copy of the repository, which contains your application code and the WildFly server's deployments folder. Besides this, there are a couple of hidden folders in your Git repository. The first one is the .git folder, which contains all your Git-related configuration. The second folder is .openshift. The following is the content of the .openshift folder:

chris-macbook:.openshift chris$ ls -lah
drwxr-xr-x   3 chris  staff   102B Aug 11 21:20 action_hooks
drwxr-xr-x   4 chris  staff   136B Aug 11 21:20 config
drwxr-xr-x   8 chris  staff   272B Aug 11 21:20 cron
drwxr-xr-x   3 chris  staff   102B Aug 11 21:20 markers

The action_hooks folder is where developers can put action hook scripts that will be executed during the OpenShift build life cycle.

Note

You can create a build script to perform application initialization, such as creating tables or setting variables. For full details on supported action hooks...
