Default System Property File

Is there a way to specify JVM to read default system properties from a file? It seems that the only way to specify a property is through command line option "-D".
Thanks in advance.

Here's a nice way of doing it....
Create a new instance of java.util.Properties which inherits System.properties,
then load in your own property file over it.
See
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/system/properties.html

How does JVM set file.encoding system property?

The system property file.encoding is changed mysteriously, and we don't have a command line -D option. How does JRockit JVM get the default value for system properties such as file.encoding?
I am running Jrockit 1.4.2_12.
Thanks.

I am running WLS 8.1SP6 on Linux using Jrockit 1.4.2-12. Over the weekend, I bounced WL server, and file.encoding was changed. It used to be ISO-8859-1. Now it is ANSI_X3.4-1968. Neither System Administrator nor WebLogic (farm) Administrator changed anything. Although I can force it with -D, I'd like to figure out what happened.
Thanks.

How to Set "file.encoding" System Property to default "UTF-8"

When i execute my code some special character are not being display correct so by programming approach i am trying to set "file.encoding" system property to "UTF-8", using command System.setProperty( "file.encoding", "UTF-8" ); and it is not working.
If i run my jar using command java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar myprog.jar . It is working and my special characters are also looking in right way.
Can i set this defalut encoding by programming approach.
Thanks
Ashish Pancholi

Hello,
I have the same problem. I have a java prog that is started with "-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1". Now in this program I want to print some characters using the UTF-8 encoding because I know that the terminal I will be printing on has this encoding. I tried using InputStramReader without success:
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(new ByteArrayInputStream("Müller".getBytes()), "UTF-8");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line = null;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
    }EDIT:
the above example is to read something into my java program. If I want to write something from my java class to an output it goes like this:
Writer out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out, "UTF8"));
out.write("Müller\n");
out.flush();... in that case I get the correct encoding.
Thanks,

Setting Derby system property in Sun Application Server batch file

Hi all,
I am trying to set up a home directory for my Derby databases other than the default C:\Sun\AppServer\lib that is used when asadmin.bat runs.
I have found in the derby documentation you can set the derby.system.home System Property using -Dderby.system.home="C:\databases" and I have tried to do this in the asadmin.bat file next to all the other system properties containing the -D option.
But still no luck, when I load the server using asadmin and check the server log file I can tell the property is not being set. I can also tell its not being set because I can't ping my database connection in the admin console. Any ideas anyone?
Much appreciated,
Alman

No jndiname works but when I leave the value empy I get the result (see end)

Non-default system-application.xml file?

There's mention in the OC4J documentation regarding specifying a non-default system-application.xml file; however, I cannot find the string defining it in any of the OC4J files, nor in the documentation though I might have missed it in that.
I am attempting to have multiple instances run out of the same ORACLE_HOME, and I'd like to point the logs to separate places per instance. Every other one is pretty clear (defined in the customized server.xml), this one with its logging parameter I cannot find a method for keeping a separate log file per instance other than simply creating multiple oracle or at least j2ee homes. Short cut for keeping things consistent for many settings and deployments, though may not be feasible for a running environment.
Any information or points in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks,
Geoff

You can modify the <log> tag in system-application.xml to rotate the system log file.
System application is a key internal component that is critical to OC4J startup, the system-application.xml file should not be modified except for the <jazn> and <log> tags.
You can modify the <jazn> tag as needed to specify changes to the security provider, the location of the OC4J security configuration file (system-jazn-data.xml), or both. For more information about <jazn> and the system-jazn-data.xml file, see the Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide.
There's no reference of system-application.xml in other config files.

Problem with file.encoding system property

Hi all
I develop a web application with Tomcat app server.
I have to set file.encoding system property to "Cp1252", but when I set it programatically using System.setProperty("file.encoding","Cp1252") it doesnt affect to my program outcome but when I put it in catalina.bat with set JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=Cp1252 it works fine.
what is the differences and why I cant change that property programatically?
thanks

why I cant change that property programatically?It is a system property reflecting the initial settings read when the JVM started. Resetting the system property java.home will not change your home directory either.

Why can't change default cipersuits of JSSE by java system property?

I am using jdk1.5.0_17,Now I am trying to change default ciphersuits of JSSE by java system property,so all code can be kept unchanged.In JSSE Reference Guide I know default ciphersuits can be customized by https.cipherSuites system property.I run my program by java -Dhttps.cipherSuites=SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 myProgram
but it doesn't work.the default ciphersuits of jre are always used.I am not able to change it.
any comments? your help will be appreciated.

Well that only works with HTTPS, i.e. with URLs and HttpsURLConnections. If you're using Sockets directly you have to use the API.

HostNameVerifier , security property file where default can be set

considering writing a HostNameVerifier Interface implementation in java for the trusted manager our applications uses as the default HostNameVerifier.
Our plan is to write this to except wildcards in the form host*.domain.domain.com. It would be handy to know if there were a setting in a security property file where we can set the default HostNameVerifier to be used? Is this possible. We are using iWS 6.0 sp 9

It's normal that you found nothing because the described feature is unavailable.
If you want that Pages stay with a given default folder, you must open your documents from this folder.
If you open the file file_A from the folder folder_A the Open dialog will default to this folder as long as you open a file from folder_B.
The app use three default paths, one for Open, one for Save and the last one for Export.
Given that, if you save file_A in folder_B, the default folder used by Open will remain "the last folder from which you opened a document".

How can I get back the default system files icons to my fles?

Hello,
After installing an application like FontExplorer, all my fonts got it's icon.
I went to a font, selected and did get info, I tried to delete the icon but could not.
I know the default icons for OTF fonts and an italic O, half green, half black.
How can I get those Icons back,
Or in general,
When files gets an application icons, how can I restore the default icons for files?
Thank you
Shlomit

Icons in the Get Info pane can be changed back to the original icon by clicking on the icon once, to highlight it, and then pressing Control X (for cut).
But in your case the font icon is probably more due to the association with the application selected to open it with, ie FontExplorer. So with the Get Info pane open for a selected font type you need to change which application you use to open it with. For example, if you select one of the OTF fonts and do a Get Info, in the Open With pane it will show FontExplorer. Change this to Font Book and it should change its default icon.

The File class ignores the file.separator system property?

I am saving the pathname of a file to a String using:
String pathString = myfile.getAbsolutePath();
This gives me e.g. "D:\Java\Projects\myfile.txt" on Windows XP
If I want to save this value to a properties file, then load it in a new invocation of the program, this string will not be recognised as a valid pathname because of the backslashes.
So I want to use forward slashes as the file separator char.
I tried:
System.setProperty("file.separator","/");
However, this setting seems to be ignored by the File class, as I still get the same string with backslashes from the getAbsolutePath() method.
Can anyone help please?

Yeah... I've used that before. Never recalled having problems. I can't, however, recall if there were file paths saved.
Just tested with this:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Props {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               Properties p1 = new Properties();
               p1.put("file", new File("C:\\test\\Props.java").getAbsolutePath());
               FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("Props.properties");
               p1.store(out, null);
               out.close();
               FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("Props.properties");
               Properties p2 = new Properties();
               p2.load(in);
               System.out.println("p1: " + p1.getProperty("file"));
               System.out.println("p2: " + p2.getProperty("file"));
          } catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}created this:

How to display system property in XML forms

Hi
We are using XML forms template for publishing news in KM. In the show form we got author field (a label in the form) which is mapped to system property createdby (PropertyReference = /Properties/default:createdby).But while displaying the form author is not getting populated. When I try to edit the form in XML forms builder in data model tab under properties node no property is visible. Nothing is shown up in properties even after reload option is selected from context menu of properties node.
I cheked by manually editing PropertyReference to some other property (e.g. modifiedby) but nothing is showing up.
Can you please suggest how the createdby system property can be shown in the xml form?
Thanks & Regards
Sudip

Hi Sudeep,
Please try to open the formbuilder in another machine and try to see the properties xml form design view.
You can even directly can create a lable in show form and add the property name along with the nama space name.
For default properties namspace is default.Create a lable UI element in show form and select the datasource property and add the property value in that.
With we can show file related system generated properties in show form.

Can you set a global EntityResolver (via system property, or static method)

I'm trying to set a customized EntityResolver (telling the xml parser where to look for XML schema files).
Usually, you'd use the standard syntax - somehting like:
SaxParser parser=new SaxParser();
parser.parser.setEntityResolver(myResolver);
However, I was wondering whether you can set a "global" EntityResolver, to be used as default for all parsers ?
Maybe this can be done through some system property, or a static method somewhere in the parsing XML ?
(BTW, I need it because I'm using some third-party API, that encapsulates a SaxParser, but won't let me access it, so I can't configure it directly).
thanks.

I don't think you can.
What is possible is to set content on the folder resource itself; that would be returned instead of the page you mentioned.

Error while reading a property file from a war.

Hi,
I am trying to read a property file which is available in the properties folder.
The piece of code that does this read is as follows.
InputStream is = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("codemap.properties");
System.out.println("Reading file:"+is);
properties.load(is);
The "codemap.properties" file is available in the properties folder.
Following is my directory structure in the war file
sample.war
|
|
WEB-INF
|
|
classes
|
|
properties
|
|______ codemap.properties
Inside the war file I have WEB-INF and properties folder.
Inside WEB-INF i have the classes folder which has the classes
Inside the properties folder I have the codemap.properties file.
I am using Jboss. In the class path I have ./properties
I have also added this classpath in the manifest file.
Problem: The piece of code that I have written to read the property file is not able to locate the file and this it returns null.
I am not sure what i am missing here.
If anyone there have any solutions please let me know.
Thanks in Advance
Balaji.

I think you've to change this line
InputStream is = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("codemap.properties");with this.
InputStream is = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("properties/codemap.properties");it is unable to find the path you specified. by default it'll check the WEB-INF directory. so you've to give the relative path to it.

How to specify alias name in system property while making 2way SSL con ?

Hi All,
I am tring to run a java client with 2way SSL which uses CAC card as keystore for the client. I have addded the following system property in my client program to make it work and change the java.security file to add pcks11 provider.
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "pkcs11");
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
The program works fine and handshake is successfully done . But the problem is when i have more than one trusted certificate in the CAC card, it take a default certificate. I want to specify the certificate that should be used to do the client auth maybe specify the alias name . I didnt find any system property to do so.
Please let me know how to specify alias name as system property so that the 2way SSL used the specified alias for the client auth or is there any other way to specify the alias name. As in case i acccess the server URL from any browser i get a certificate selection prompt and the connection is established with the selected certificate.
Thanks in advanced,
Ruhul

I didn't find any system property to do so.There isn't one.
Please let me know how to specify alias name as system propertyYou can't.
You would have to write a custom KeyManager. See the JSSE Reference Guide.
