## 3.1.1 Built in options

Grails also provides the following configuration options:

- `grails.config.locations` - The location of properties files or addition Grails Config files that should be merged with main configuration
- `grails.enable.native2ascii` - Set this to false if you do not require native2ascii conversion of Grails i18n properties files
- `grails.views.default.codec` - Sets the default encoding regime for GSPs - can be one of 'none', 'html', or 'base64' (default: 'none'). To reduce risk of XSS attacks, set this to 'html'.
- `grails.views.gsp.encoding` - The file encoding used for GSP source files (default is 'utf-8')
- `grails.mime.file.extensions` - Whether to use the file extension to dictate the mime type in Content Negotiation
- `grails.mime.types` - A map of supported mime types used for Content Negotiation
- `grails.serverURL` - A string specifying the server URL portion of absolute links, including server name e.g. grails.serverURL="http://my.yourportal.com". See createLink.

### War generation

- `grails.war.destFile` - Sets the location where the war command should place the generated WAR file
- `grails.war.dependencies` - A closure containing Ant builder syntax or a list of JAR filenames. Allows you to customise what libaries are included in the WAR file.
- `grails.war.java5.dependencies` - A list of the JARs that should be included in the WAR file for JDK 1.5 and above.
- `grails.war.copyToWebApp` - A closure containing Ant builder syntax that is legal inside an Ant copy, for example "fileset()". Allows you to control what gets included in the WAR file from the "web-app" directory.
- `grails.war.resources` - A closure containing Ant builder syntax. Allows the application to do any other pre-warring stuff it needs to.
