Services are used by Penrose Server to provide interface for Penrose clients. Services are configured in conf/server.xml:

<server>

  <service name="..." enabled="...">

    <service-class>...</service-class>

    <parameter>
      <param-name>...</param-name>
      <param-value>...</param-value>
    </parameter>

  </service>

</server>

Each service is enabled by default. Enabled service will be started automatically when Penrose Server is started. To disable a service, specify enabled="false".
