Create a configuration file (.properties) in the classpath folder and add some properties to it. Use standard syntax for the .properties files: parameter=value. Here is an example of configuration file:

Example:

theme="advanced"

plugins="save,paste"

theme_advanced_buttons1="bold,italic,underline, cut,copy,paste,pasteword"

theme_advanced_toolbar_location="top"

theme_advanced_toolbar_align="left"

The properties stored in configuration file are passed to the <rich:editor> via "configuration" attribute which takes the name of the configuration file as a value (with out .properties extension).

For example, if you named the configuration file "editorconfig", you would address it as follows:

Example:

...

<rich:editor value="#{bean.editorValue}" configuration="editorconfig"/>

...

Alternately, you can use a EL-expression to define a configuration file. This way you can dynamically change the sets of configuration properties.

For example, you have two configuration files "configurationAdvanced" and "configurationSimple" and you want them to be applied under some condition.

To do this you need to bind "configuration" attribute to the appropriate bean property like this.

Example:

...

<rich:editor value="#{bean.editorValue}" configuration="#{editor.configuration}" />

...

Your Java file should look like this.

...

String configuration;


if(some condition){//defines some condition

        configuration = "configurationAdvanced"; //the name on the file with advanced properties    

}

else{

        configuration= "configurationSimple"; //the name on the file with simplified properties 

}

...
