Nitpicking about .properties file syntax

After years of using these files, could someone please tell me what the convention for syntax is? :)
This:
somekey=valueor this:
somekey = valueAnd YES, this must be the least important thread of all time, but since we're with multiple guys here mixing both variants I would like to standardize on one.

Both; also the same thing with : instead of =, or without either. See the Javadoc for java.util.Properties.load():
'Any white space after the key is skipped; if the first non-white space character after the key is '=' or ':', then it is ignored and any white space characters after it are also skipped. '

About properties file

Hi Guys,
I have a major doubt about '.properties' file.
I thought if a '.properties' file exists anywhere in the classpath, it should be picked up by any application.
But most of the time, eventhough it's in the classpath, '.properties' file is not found picked up at all.
Is that my understanding about this is wrong or is there anything else I need to do to make the '.properties' file visible to all applications?
what could be wrong?
please enlighten me on this.
Thankx in advance..
Manesh

you need to use the resource bundle facilities. I don't think so. I think the following will load a properties file using the classpath. It doesn't use a ResourceBundle.
Properties aProperties = new Properties();
static final String MAIN_FILE_PATH="./resource/mine.properties";
// This should find 'mine.properties' on the classpath.
// It will search each dir in the class path adding
// MAIN_FILE_PATH to the end of each dir.
// It will replace the path seperator if needed (win os.)
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);

Questions about properties files

Hello,
I have two questions about properties files.
1. Is it possible to import a properties file from another properties file?
2. Is it possible to have variables in a properties file as described below in code snippet.
Thanks in advance,
Julien.
Code snippet:
var_one=foo
var_two=$var_one bar
The second line would then read "foo bar"

Hello,
I have two questions about properties files.
1. Is it possible to import a properties file from
another properties file?If you write your own code to parse whatever import statement you decide to put in the properties file, yes. But there's no provision to do so in the core APIs or in the standard usage of these files.
2. Is it possible to have variables in a properties
file as described below in code snippet.Same as the answer to your first question. Though this kind of thing is more common, so there might be a library at jakarta or sourceforge or mindprod or something that does this.

Connection to iFS from a remote station & .properties file syntax

Hello,
I want to make a java application (running on a simple NT workstation) that is able to connect onto the iFS-1.1.9 server (running on a different unix server).
So I copied all the necessary jar and zip files from the iFS server, installed JDK1.1.8 (would it work with JDK 1.3 since I have iFS-1.1.9 ?), put all necessary jar/zip files in the classpath and I was able to compile the sample program given in the iFS dev guide.
I know that I also need a "service.properties" file that is in oracle.ifs.server.properties directory in my CLASSPATH, that point is ok.
The fact is that I don't have a clue about the exact syntax of that file. I only have as an example the standard servers.properties file on my iFS server itself, but the "DatabaseUrl" attribute is probably not the same because in my case the service is running on a remote machine...
As a result, when I launch my java app on my workstation it says :
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10620: Unable to construct connection pool
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10633: Unable to create library connection
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10600: Unable to construct library connection
So is there anything I am missing ? Where can I find the definition and syntax of all attributes in the .properties file ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Arnaud.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">quote:</font><HR>Thanks to your advises, here is the simple properties file I created (only 3 lines) :

OK, so there are two problems. First of all, I should have explained better. You absolutely need ALL of the other properties in the new service properties file you have created. What I should have said in the last post was that the above three properties are the only ones you need to CHANGE. What you should do is copy IfsDefault.properties from the iFS installation ($OH/ifs1.1/settings/oracle/ifs/server/properties) to your NT machine, and then EDIT those three properties as you have specified above. And make sure to put it in the CLASSPATH correctly, under the same directory hierarchy.
The second problem is your JDBC database URL. The format for the OCI8 connect string using a TNS alias is as follows:
jdbc:oracle:oci8:@<tns_alias>
where <tns_alias> is a name you create with the Oracle Net8 Assistant (it should be on your NT machine under your Start menu: Oracle-<your_oracle_home>/Network Administration).
You should read the Net8 Administration Guide for more information about TNS aliases and how to use "thick" (OCI8) JDBC.

About properties file values in descendind order

hi,
I have one query . I have one properties file ab.txt in that
user       marks
a    =           1
b     =           5
c      =           8
here my query is now i want to display marks in descendindgorder
can any one give idea about this one

Fine that it works for you, but please keep in mind: writing raw java code in a JSP file is a bad practice. Whenever you need to do so, your design is flawed. You should be using tablibs (JSTL, JSF, etc), EL and/or Java classes (servlets, beans, etc).
You´ve been warned.

ResourceBundle, Properties file ...syntax...HELP PLEASE

Would someone please tell me how to correctly write a StringArray with key value pair in a properties file?
Example:
button.labels="Mrc","DataExtraction","ScheduleProcessing"
button.Actions=mrc/data/schedule
button.ImageIcons=FTIlittle.gif,FTIlittle.gif,FTIlittle.gif
these are the ways I have tried...
here is the code snippet:
buttonLabels = resources.getStringArray("button.labels");
buttonActions = resources.getStringArray("button.Actions[]");
buttonImageIcons = resources.getStringArray("button.ImageIcons[]");
I keep getting the error saying that my 'array' in the .properties file is not an array.
How do I do this...
Thanks in advance!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Apple advise to use the Disk Utility if possible rather than fsck in 10.4.
Boot from your Tiger install DVD.
Don't run the installer but rather choose Disk Utility from the menu bar. In Disk Utility select Macintosh HD on the left hand pane and then click "Repair Disk" and "Repair Disk Permissions".
Quit Disk Utility and exit the Installer.
Let us know how you get on.

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.

In a new Application, the ApplicationResources_en.properties file is not having the constraint messages created

Hi Everyone:
          We are using JDev 11.1.2 and JHeadstart 11.1.2. We have been having a multitude of problems when running applications through the migrator (and we have now been told by an Oracle consultant that the migrator is problematic), so we are trying to re-write things from scratch to bring them over from 11.1.1.4 to 11.1.2.
          I have been working on a simple application from scratch and discovered that the messages for constraints on the entities that I am using are not showing up in the ApplicationResources_en.properties.file. We noticed a similar thing with converting an application using the migrator and that post is found here - java.lang.NullPointerException ADF_FACES-60097 message ***WITH SOLUTION*** -.
          However, I didn't get a single reply to that thread.
          I initially thought it was a migration issue, but this application is from scratch. Whenever I tried to input an invalid value into a page column, the following exception would be received.
"java.lang.NullPointerException ADF_FACES-60097:For more information, please see the server's error log for an entry beginning with: ADF_FACES-60096:Server Exception during PPR, #"
           This Null Pointer turned out to be the missing message from the ApplicationResources_en.properties file. In the new application I just wrote, I had to manually edit to add the following lines to the ApplicationResources_en.properties file and the application no longer gives me the error if I input an invalid value.
VALIDATE_FEE_CATEGORY_3=Feecategory with this FeeCategory does not exist
VALIDATE_ACADEMIC_TERM36=Academicterm with this EffectiveTermStart does not exist

    Is this a known bug (I have searched and havent found it) and is there anything that I can do about it without having to manually add the messages?

Hi Everyone:
           I have done some further testing. We are using a re-usable Business Components .jar file to access our entities. We import the .jar file into the project and create the ViewObjects and ViewLinks from that .jar file.
            It APPEARS that a test case using the HRSchema and using the Entities & Associates generates the constraint error messages, but when I use the .jar file of re-usable business components imported into the project, those constraint error messages are not created in the ApplicationResources_en.properties file. I have created two testcases as well as the re-usable .jar file that I can send to you to show what I mean.
            This behaviour seems to have shown up in 11.1.2 as there was no problem before this.
             Please let me know where you'd like me to upload the testcases.
             Thank you.

Problems with properties files and war files in weblogic 5.1

          I work with WebLogic 5.1 and I'm trying to deploy a web application which gets
          a properties file. If I deploy it as an expanded directory hierarchy (with the
          properties files into WEB-INF/classes) I have no problems. While deploying it
          by a .war file I get this message: "en_GB java.util.MissingResourceException:
          Can't find resource for base name Agent, locale en " (the getBundle() method is
          trying to get an english property file). What could I do? Is it really a weblogic
          5.1 bug?
          Thanks,
          David


This issue comes up repeatably. It's a real bug.
          I believe this problem was fixed in a 5.1 service pack, but I'm trying to
          find out the exact disposition of the issue. Noone seems to be complaining
          about this under 6.x, so a fix seems to have been made, the only question is
          whether or not it got back-ported to a 5.1 service pack.

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?

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);

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files.

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files, batches with less than 200 files work well. I can watch the Acrobat.exe process in the resource monitor and when the Threads reach about 2000 and the Working Memory reaches 500mb, Acrobat freezes. The JavaScript creates 2 redaction areas, applies the redaction, then saves the file to another location. I've tested it on both Windows Server 2008 and Win7 32bit. I'm running Acrobat X Pro fully update to 10.1.10.

It is possible to have the Redaction tool search for a text string across multiple PDFs without using the "Action" wizard or batch processing. You will have to learn the exact steps to properly set the properties for each string of text. You can also review the items marked for redaction and either accept, remove or adjust as needed each one.
There are 3rd party tools that can also redact PDFs and they existed long before this feature was added to Acrobat. Appligent Document Solutions Redax..
Appligent even has a server based product for large amount of files or using watched folders.

If I include the jar file above in some other program it should find the
javalogging.properties file correct? It's failing in the common code trying to find the properties file. I created a small driver that tests the common code and it is fine it just does not work off the jar file. Is there something weird about jar files and property files I don't know about? I thought when you included them on the java -classpath line it was like that code was part of your application and the path followed also.
Thanks,

Are you using method getResourceAsStream? If so don't forget to properly add (or not) an "/" to the resource name as stated in Java API docs: if the resource name starts with "/", it is unchanged; otherwise, the package name is prepended to the resource name after converting "." to "/".

Format Text in properties File

I have a large amount of text for an element in the properties file that I'd like to format. I'm retrieving this value and displaying it in the tip of a panelLabelAndMessage ADF component. For example, in the properties file I have the following:
displayparagraph=This is the first paragraph.This is a second paragraph I'd like on a new line.
I'd like this text to be broken apart onto new lines when it displays in the tip element, like this:
This is the first paragraph.
This is the second paragraph I'd like on a new line.
I'm not sure how to go about doing this or if it's even possible. I've tried placing \n, \\n, \r, \r\n, etc...inbetween the "." and "This" but this doesn't appear to work.
I'd also like to a portion of that same message be underlined as a link...not sure if that is possible either.
I have to keep the text in the properties file for translation purposes and I can't really break up the sentences into seperate elements to ensure that translations doesn't lose the meaning of the tip.

Hi,
If you set the escape property to false on your output components you can put HTML code in your properties file for the components that you want to format differently.
Not all components can do this but the key ones like OutputText do.
