SteemJConfig Basics

SteemJ ships with a default configuration that has been tested and that should allow you to execute all activities out of the box. For the case that this default configuration does not fit your needs you can find all required information in the following chapters to change it.

Before you continue to read you need to know one additional thing: SteemJConfig is Singleton, which means that there is only one existing instance per application. While this feature does not allow to define different configurations for different threads, it makes it unnecessary to pass the configuration object to every single method.

The following command shows how to get the currently used SteemJConfig-Instance.

[...]
SteemJConfig myConfig = SteemJConfig.getInstance();
