h2. Directives in {{obj.conf}}

The directives in {{obj.conf}} invoke functions known as Server Application Functions (SAFs). Each directive calls a function, indicating when to call it and specifying parameters for it.

The syntax of each directive is:
{code}
_Directive_ fn="_function_" _name1_="_value1_"..._nameN_="_valueN_"
{code}

The value of the function ({{fn}}) parameter is the name of the SAF to execute. All directives must supply a value for the {{fn}} parameter; if there is no function, the instruction will do nothing. The remaining parameters are the arguments needed by the function, and they vary from function to function.

For example:
{code}
NameTrans fn="document-root" root="D:/Sun/webserver7/https-server/docs"
{code}

In this example, the directive is executed during the {{NameTrans}} stage of request processing, and invokes the {{document-root}} SAF to specify the document root directory for the server. The {{document-root}} SAF parameter {{root}} specifies the path to the document root directory.
