Location of jpf.properties files

XI 2.0
Tomcat 4.1
JDK 1.4.2
The only way I've been able to have my java proxies find the jpf.properties file is when I put jpf.properties in the same location that I start up my WebServer from (my case, tomcat).
Is there some an xml file or perhaps something to add to the classpath in order for the proxies to be able to find the jpf.properties file in the root of my web app?
thx

Don't have a clue but this is an old question that needed a comment to close

Incorrect save propertie file

Hi!
I have the next propertie file Settings in folder Config:
[LOCALE]
Language=en
Country=US
I my code I have:
private static Properties properties;
private static final String FILE_NAME = "config" + File.separator + "Settings";
     private void initialization() {
          FileReader fileReader;
          try {
               properties = new Properties();
               fileReader = new FileReader(FILE_NAME);
               properties.load(fileReader);
               Locale.setDefault(new Locale(properties.getProperty("Language"), properties.getProperty("Country")));
               fileReader.close();
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     public static void setLocale(Locale locale) {
          FileWriter fileWriter;
          try {
               properties.setProperty("Language", locale.getLanguage());
               properties.setProperty("Country", locale.getCountry());
               fileWriter = new FileWriter(FILE_NAME);
               properties.store(fileWriter, "");
               fileWriter.close();
               Locale.setDefault(locale);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
When I change language I call method setLocale and the result is that in my propertie file I have:
#Wed Apr 09 19:18:22 EEST 2008
Language=ru
[LOCALE]=
Country=RU
Why?
I need the next content in file:
[LOCALE]
Language=ru
Country=RU

change location in my applicaton
e.g user work with English version and when want to chagne language to russian , in my application I change location (save in propertie file)
Internationalization.setLocale(new Locale("ru", "RU"));
public static void setLocale(Locale locale) {
          FileWriter fileWriter;
          try {
               properties.setProperty("Language", locale.getLanguage());
               properties.setProperty("Country", locale.getCountry());
               fileWriter = new FileWriter(FILE_NAME);
               properties.store(fileWriter, null);
               fileWriter.close();
               Locale.setDefault(locale);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     }

To Read the contents of the properties file which is located in webserver

Hi,
I have one requirement where I have to read the contents of a property file which is located in some path in server. Say for example, when you click on link abcd then contents of abcd.properties file should be displayed in one text view in webdynpro . I am trying to implement this in webdynpro for java. The main thing is like I am not able to retrieve the server path of the file and hence not getting the file contents. I tried using methods like getApplicationPath() or getRealPath() but its not working. So can you guys please help me on to how to read the server file contents.
Thanks and regards,
Sai

Hi Romano,
Thanks a lot for your reply. However, I forgot to mention one thing in my question. Its like the path will be different everytime. Say, we have systems like development, acceptance, production. So when the user clicks on the link abcd, it should take the path of development system and similarly when the user clicks on the link in acceptance or production, the path will be different. say for example, in development the path will be
usr/cluster/dev/abcd.properties but it acceptance it will be usr/cluster/acc/abcd.properties. So just want to know whether this will work? Anyway, I will give this a try.
Thanks once again,
Sai

Locating a properties file

Hey,
My application makes use of a properties file which it needs for some connection settings. Currently the properties file is in the same directory as the .jar (.exe) so everything works fine. but i at some point id want the .exe to be on the desktop but the file located elsewhere. so i thought .. y not use JFileChooser, and i did, and everything worked fine. noww.. the problem is ... i only want the open file dialog to show when it cant find the file. so .. when the filechooser is used.. i need a way to save the path (i can get the path using file.getPath() ) but how/where do i save this path? ( cant save it in the properties file lol). whats the proper way to handle this? Thanks,
bpfl

Do you hava example on how i can use this?
i did find this...
package com.acme.widget;
import java.util.prefs.*;
public class Gadget {
    // Preference keys for this package
    private static final String NUM_ROWS = "num_rows";
    private static final String NUM_COLS = "num_cols";
    void foo() {
        Preferences prefs = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(this);
        int numRows = prefs.getInt(NUM_ROWS, 40);
        int numCols = prefs.getInt(NUM_COLS, 80);
}so thas setting the number of rows and number of columns .. right? this is how i set the preferences for a particular user. i want to be able to set them one time and then everything the program is launched, it should use those preferences set the very fist time the program runs, i do have connection settings page in which the user can change the settings. How do i get preferences?

Can't locate .properties file on Visual Admin

Hello,
I have created an RID.properties file inside a DynPro application under src/packages/... and I am able to load it and get it's attributes from the DynPro code.
So far so good...
As far as I know this properties file can be viewd and modifed on the Visual Admin under:
Configuration Adapter -> webdynpro...
I've browsed all the folders at this location and couldn't locate my .properties file. So where is it...?
Roy

i think you only want to access and maintain the properties on server side...
ok, check out
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b8/aa343e32ff1033e10000000a114084/content.htm
for an example how to access the properties from your wdp app.
i suggest loading all props into a specific context node and corresponding attributes. perhaps there are better ways.
Now sth. uncomfortable:
Be careful when you redeploy your app. All properties are overwritten with the ones you defined locally.
you also cant delete the config on local side, it would be deleted on server, too. (at least i think so)

How can i locate the properties files within a ejb container?

when i develop servlet+javabean structure application,in order to imploement decoupling,i
would like to write the config information in the properties files(key-value pair),in
servlet,i use "getResourceAsStream(String relativePath)" method to retrieve the
configuration information from the properties files(i even write the SQL clause
in the files),it alwsys works well.
now,i want to implement such function within the ejb container,that is to read
a properties file from session bean,but i don't know how can i locate the file
within the ejb container by using relative path,i wonder if there is the same
method within ejb container as "getResourceAsStream(.......)" method within servlet
container?
thanks for any helps!
the code snippet is appreciated!

In general, you should look at using environment entries (variables) in the
deployment descriptors (both the war and EJB jar rather than properties
files for configuring J2EE applications. The reasons for this are many:
1. This is the official way to do it according to the spec. Properties
files are the J2SE way of doing things
2. As you note, that it's not obvious how you would (legally) read a
properties file inside an EJB.
3. It's consistent between the web and EJB part of your code
4. the weblogic console and tools have good capabilities to edit these
fields.

JSP and location of .properties file

Hi,
I have a directory in my C:\apache\tomcat\webapps directory entitled "ignmDBInt".
I have a jsp file in this directory that works successfully. I would like it to open a .properties file. However, it cannot be found.
Where should this .properties file be located?
My code to access the .properties file is below.
//opent the config file and get the field names
ResourceBundle myResourceBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Properties");
String fieldNames[] = myResourceBundle.getString("fieldNamesDelimited").split(",");
String properNames[] = myResourceBundle.getString("properNamesDelimited").split(",");

That last reply fixed it. Thanks!
I didn't realize you had to set JSPs up like servlets.

Location of application-specific properties files

I am using Tomcat 4.0.3 under WinXP Pro, and I am trying to get my
application to "find" an application-specific properties file. I am having problems trying to determine which directory to put this file in.
Here is the Java code I am using for this class:
import java.util.Properties;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
public class ForumProperties extends Properties {
   private static final String DEFAULT_FILENAME = "/WEB-INF/classes/mystuff.properties";
   private static ForumProperties globalProps;
   private ForumProperties() {
   private ForumProperties(String fileName) throws Exception {
      this();
      load(new FileInputStream(fileName));
   public static ForumProperties getInstance() throws Exception {
      try {
         if (globalProps == null)
            globalProps = new ForumProperties(DEFAULT_FILENAME);
      } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace(System.out);
         throw new Exception("Error loading properties file");
      return globalProps;
}I have put the properties file in just about every directory I can think of to try and find out where it's supposed to be, but I can't get it to work. I can put the file into the "user.home" System property (which turns out to be C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator) and have it pick it up, but I would prefer to put the file into the path of the application.
I have tried four different methods to load this file:
1. load(new FileInputStream(fileName)); (same as above)
2. load(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(fileName));
3. load(this.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(fileName));
4. load(getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(fileName));
All of them fail for not finding the file except #4, but that's not the
optimal solution as it requires a servlet context, which for "genericness of code reasons", I DON'T want to do.
As an aside, I pulled the "java.class.path" from the System properties to see where it's pointing, and all it has in it is
"<CATALINA_HOME>\bin\bootstrap.jar" with no other paths included.
Is there an attribute or something in the server.xml or web.xml file I am forgetting to set, or another approach I should be taking?
Bob

See if this code fragment helps.
          String MAIN_FILE_PATH = "./BlueGnome/demos/Properties/DemoPropertiesFile.properties";
          java.net.URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource(MAIN_FILE_PATH);
          System.out.println("PATH: resolved name = " + url);
          // Get the file.
          // We could just use FileInputStream here. Then we would have
          // to provide a path that was meaningful to the system like
          //     c:\java\BlueGnome\demos\Properties\DemoPropertiesFile.properties
          // Doing it this way allows us to use generic directory
          // seperators and allows for it to search for the file using
          // the CLASSPATH. That also allows for it to be in a jar file.
          java.io.InputStream is;
          is = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(MAIN_FILE_PATH);
          if (is == null)
               throw new Exception("Resource File "
                    + MAIN_FILE_PATH + " not found.");
          aProperties.load(is);

How to read multiple files at multiple locations using properties file

hi all ,
in my code i take configuration input from a properties file ,it was really easy but what if there are multiple files ? how can i take configuration input (file path etc) from properties file in that case ? any suggestion ?

thanks :) ..i am doing like this :
String fName[]=new String[10];
          String choice[]=new String[10];
          String Delim[]=new String[10];
          ResourceBundle a = ResourceBundle.getBundle("input");
          String n=a.getString("NOF");
          try
               for(int i=0;i<Integer.parseInt(n);i++)
                    fName=a.getString("PATH"+(i+1));
                    choice[i]=a.getString("HEADER"+(i+1));
                    Delim[i]=a.getString("DELIMITER"+(i+1));
                    putData(fName[i],choice[i],Delim[i]);//to put data in database
          catch (NumberFormatException e)
               System.out.println("Number of files are invalid");
hope this method would be fine ....again thanks for the advice :) :)

How to configure Java Properties File location in WLW

How do we tell Workshop 7.0 where to look for Java properties files (loaded by

Ray,
The build number indicates that you have not upgraded to Service Pack 2 of

from the issues which were fixed in the 2 service packs.

By moving the property files to WEB-INF/classes from WEB-INF, we arealmost there.
But we have a follow up problem. We use a static initializer to loadthe
log4j
property file like this:
static {
try {
ClassLoader cl= (new Log()).getClass().getClassLoader();
InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream(logfile);
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(is);
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
When we run jwsCompile, we keep getting this:

ResourceBundle looks for the properties file in the current thread's
classpath.
Since a Workshop webservice's project is nothing but a webapp, the
properties files can be kept in the WEB-INF/classes directory, which
is part
of the webapp classpath.
You can also use
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("MyProp

Classpath root for locating properties file?

I'm trying to read a property file from a pluggable Reports destination. I've tried placing it in the domain root and in the domain lib folder (I'm sure it was picked up there in a previous release) but I can't appear to find it.
What is a general classpath root that could be used for storing properties files in?
Thanks in advance,
Nik

Open your %DOMAIN_HOME%/server/AdminServer/logs/AdminServer.log and search for java.class.path.
You'll see all classpath roots available, I'm using %DOMAIN_HOME%/config/soa-infra.

UNable to locate Properties files from Servlets

I have a Web App deployed in the default domain (domain1)that contains a servlet which needs to read in values from a .properties file from the filesystem. However, whenever I try to use it, I always end up with a FileNotFoundException.
I tried keeping the properties file in the d:\Sun\AppServer7\bin as well as d:\Sun\AppServer7\domains\Domain1\server1\bin and still get the same exception.
Can anyone tell me where I need to keep the .properties file? FYI, I have deployed the same on Tomcat 4.x and the same app worked perfectly (with the prop file in d:\tomcat4\bin directory).
Thanks,
Chetan

Try the instance config directory. In your case, this is probably D:\Sun\AppServer7\domains\domain1\server1\config.

JDeveloper: unable to locate properties file

Hello Experts,
I'm working with JDeveloper11R1, and I need to load some information from a properties file.
I copied the file config.properties both on the WEB-INF directory and in the com/project/ directory, but when trying to load with a class positioned also in the com/project directory..
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        try {
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("config.properties"));
OR
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("/config.properties"));
OR
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("/com/project/config.properties"));
OR
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("/WEB-INF/config.properties"));I all the above situations I get the file not found error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /com/project/config.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106)

Process exited with exit code 0.
I guess that I should configure the Classpath in JDeveloper, but also loading the Directory from "Project Properties - Library/Classpath" it doesn't work.
Could you please help?
Thank you

Hi Leyla,
Try using ResourceBundle instead of Properties:
ResourceBundle rb;
try {
rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com/project/config");
...This should work if your config.properties file is in com/project/ directory.

Error reading Properties file

I have a main method which i am using to call a servlet located in the same Development Component. Until recently i had the servlet location hard coded and it was working without issues. Now i decided to make the location configurable. For this i created an sap.application.global.properties file in the EAR DC which contains the WAR of this DC.
The contents of the above file are as follows:
SAP application properties
SERVLET.LOCATION=http://<server-name>/ControllerServlet/servlet/com.nike.xapps.eqptsp.swem.controller.ControllerServlet
The code i am using in the main method to call this properties file and access the property is as follows:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ApplicationConfigHandlerFactory cfgHdlr = (ApplicationConfigHandlerFactory)ctx.lookup("ApplicationConfiguration");
Properties props = cfgHdlr.getApplicationProperties();
String servlet = props.getProperty("SERVLET.LOCATION");
contained in a try...catch block.
On dubugging i get a NoInitialContextException repeatedly in the statement where the lookup is performed.
These are all the additions i have made for reading this properties file. Does anyone know if there is anything more that needs to be done for this to work.
Thanks,
Murtaza.

thank for the help mangst. i guess the IO approach is also applicable ^^; i changed my code to:
configFile.load( new FileInputStream( ".\\resources\\config.properties" ) );but i had a little trouble in debugging it since it starts the file search from the main project directory. however it works fine upon deployment. ^^; thanks again.

JRE7Update25 Deployment Properties File Not Working And Cant Disable Next Gen Plugin

Good Day
Our organisation needs to deploy JRE7U25 to over 4000 workstations. Our desktops are running the following Windows and IE combinations:
WinXP 32 Bit/IE7
WinXP 32 Bit/IE8
Win7 32 Bit/IE8
Win7 32 Bit/IE9
Win7 64 Bit/IE8
Win7 64 Bit/IE8
We use the 32bit JRE installer across all environments and all IE browsers use 32Bit IE. On all of our environments the Deployment.properties and config files no longer work due to what appears to be a bug in the JRE7U25 installer. Our deployment files are as follows:
Deployment.config
deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
Deployment.properties
deployment.security.level=MEDIUM
deployment.security.level.locked=
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
deployment.security.mixcode=HIDE_RUN
deployment.security.mixcode.locked=
deployment.console.startup.mode=HIDE
deployment.console.startup.mode.locked=
Both files are being copied to the following location:
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment
After the installer runs and deployment files are copied to the workstation the deployment.properties and config files look like this:
Deployment.config
deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
Deployment.properties
#System Deployment Properties
#Mon Jul 01 12:29:20 CAT 2013
deployment.security.level=MEDIUM
I have tried changing the deployment.config file as follows in an attempt to fix this to no avail:
1. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
2. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
3. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
4. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
5. deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
None of the above mentioned works. So all our required settings in the deployment.properties file are being overwritten when opening the Java console? Our other major problem is that Changing the registry key to 0 in order to disable the next generation plugin does not disable the next generation plugin in Jre at the usual location as it worked for us machine wide (across multiple profiles for JRE6U29):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\10.25.2]
"UseNewJavaPlugin"=dword:00000000
^^I have observed on a fresh install of JRE7U25 that the above mentioned registry key no longer exists in this version so a computer wide disablement of this option is no longer possible via the registry.
On our 32Bit and 64bit machines running the 32 bit JRE 7U25 client when we disable the next generation plugin it keeps enabling itself again. Even when we run the javacpl.exe to run as administrator by changing the compatibility settings and disabling the next generation plugin it enables itself again. This is a huge problem for us because our company Oracle web based applications need this plugin to be disabled in order to run the apps properly.
These are major obstacles for our deployment as we desperately require assistance or any advice in addressing these issues as there appear to be numerous bugs with the JRE7U25 release. Thank you in advance.
Update 7 July 2013:
I have observed that if you have the following options in your Deployment.config file it doesn't allow our java webstart apps which use jnlp extensions to run.
1. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
2. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
3. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
4. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
The jnlp file association is also broken on Windows XP workstations with JRE7U25. We are having to manually associate the .jnlp file extension with javaws.exe on workstation for Web start apps or else users cannot lauch JRE whn clicking on .jnlp links.
The only Deployment.config syntax which allows our Webstart applications to run is as follows:
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
What a mess!

I don't have an answer to the problem, but I am having problems with the system level deployment.properties file and IE9 on Windows 7 32/64bit.
Starting with version 13, the IE plugin seems to igonore the system level deployment.properties file in favor of the user level deployment.properties file. When I open the Java Control Panel, the settings are correct per the system deployment.properties file. Currently to get the Java Plugin to work reliably in IE9 I have to set the following:
_JAVA_OPTIONS = -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Disable caching
Set the proxy to Direct Connection.
If I set the _JAVA_OPTIONS as an environment variable and the other two in the system deployment.properties file, Firefox works fine, but IE wont load either of the Java tests. If I removed the system deployment.properties files and configure the user deployment.properties file, both IE and Firefox work fine.
I find it interesting that if I set the configuration through the control panel, then apply the system deployment.propteries file, the user deployment.properties file reverts to defaults when the system file is removed.
