Defining server specific properties for EJB app

I need to define some properties for my app which have different values depending on the server to which I deploy. Eg. the LDAP server name and port.
When I deploy to my development server it should find the local values of the properties, when I deploy to the live server it needs a different set of values.
What is the simplest way to do this? I obviously don't want the properties to be part of my deployment.

EJBs are not allowed to read or write files. But they are allowed to read from the JNDI context. The idea is to provide a symbolic name, ie <resource-env-ref>, which contains the value you need.
The startup-classes which could set this value in the JNDI context are best documented in the OC4J User's Guide.

Storing property values specific to an ejb app

On a Weblogic 102 , how can I store atrributes specific to an ejb. This could contain passwords for other system. Connection Pooling is not an option for the external system, so the password has to be stored some where the EJB can read, preferably not in clear text ? I am trying to keep this property file out of the source code ....

Hi Mat,
Not sure whether the following will suit your requirement or not but you can try the following:
Step1). run the "setDomainEnv.sh" in the command Shell.
Step2). Run the following command to encrypt the your EJBUsername and EJBUserPassword
java weblogic.security.Encrypt ${Clear_Text_Password}
Example:
$ java weblogic.security.Encrypt MyEJBUser
{3DES}0HYiEySifDiz0IcqDhelGA==
$ java weblogic.security.Encrypt MyEJBPassword
{3DES}0HYiEySif12hhaqDheSa==
Step3). Now store the above Encrypted USername and Passwords in a properties file (myEjbUsers.properties) like following:
userOneName={3DES}0HYiEySifDiz0IcqDhelGA==
userOnePassword={3DES}0HYiEySif12hhaqDheSa==
Step4). Now Place this File some where in your File system ...better if you place it inside the <DOMAIN_HOME> directory....sothat your application can read it Just like following: (No Need to specify the Path of properties file if it is available inside the DOMAIN_HOME root directroy)
FileReader fr=new FileReader("myEjbUsers.properties");
Step5). Inside your EJB When you get the Username & Password sent by the EJB Client...get them and then Inside your Code Encrypt them and match with the Encrypted values present in your Properties file....

Multi-Provider Provider-Specific Properties for Navigational Attributes

Experts,
I need to over-ride the naming for a navigational attribute in a multi-provider.
For non-navigational attributes you simply use the Provider-Specific Properties. This selection is not available for navigational attributes.
Is there a different way to apply alternative naming to navigational attributes in a Mult-Provider without affecting the global definition in the base cube.
Thanks in advance

No - the users want their own verions of the name as default
Thanks for the reply

JNDI environment properties for EJB in deployment descriptor

Is it possible to deploy an EJB on weblogic 6.0 such that the EJBHome
object is bound using JNDI to a different JNDI server such as ldap
server instead of the weblogic server by specifying JNDI env.
properties like PROVIDER_URL, INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY in the
deployment descriptor? That is use the weblogic built-in deployer but
bind the JNDI names to a different JNDI server. For this, can the
EJBHome objects be treated as just RMI (over IIOP) objects and bind
them (stubs of the RMI objects) using the Sun's JNDI service provider.
The goal is that thereafter the Home JNDI names can be looked up by
RMI clients and the interface methods invoked.
Thanks,

Must I put the war and jar files in the same ear ?
oh..ft...my boss is killing me ..

Defining Server Caching Options for XML?

Hi all...
Using CS3, I've created an XSLT fragment to consume an RSS
feed, and inserted that in a homepage, following this tutorial for
DW8:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_xsl_rss.html
It works great, but I'm curious... what do I edit (or add) to
define caching of the XML on the server? I want to limit it to an
update every few hours or so, to minimize bandwith usage.
Thanks for any help, kinda learning this all as I go....
Oh, and it's a .cfm page, but it's not live yet...

Foreign key fields not getting populated in datacontrol palette for EJB app

Hi,
I am quite new to ADF and EJB.I developed a jdeveloper application with JSF and EJB tiers.(I am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.5)
For database the default HR database is used.I created the entities for the EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS table.
I also created a session bean and a data control for the session bean.
I am having a JSF page that receives all the details of a new Employee and insert into database (i.e persistEntity)
But the Employees constructor from the Data control palette is not populating the MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID fields which are
the foreign key constraints for the EMPLOYEES table and hence while trying to persist the entity
with the auto populated fields an error message is thrown.
If I used ADF BC instead of EJB then i could populate all the fields including MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID.
Is it possible to have two text fields for Manager and Department in the jsf to insert the Employee details with EJB as the Model?.
If possible how do I bind the values of these fields to the Employees entity object in EJB.
Kindly need your insights on this.
Thanks,
Guna.

Hi,
How are you using MANAGER_ID and DEPARTMENT_ID fields, are they exposed as Long (or some other numeric type), or did you map them on the entity, something like this
@ManyToOne
private Employee manager; // this by default uses the column named MANAGER_ID
@ManyToOne
private Department department; // this by default uses the column named DEPARTMENT_ID
.... If you mapped them (which is the right way), when you create an employee you should set these attributes before persisting the entity, by using employee.setManager(manager) and employee.setDepartment(department). Then, the foreign keys get populated automatically by your persistence provider (Toplink).
If you are using data controls, it is a little different process to set the department and manager, but you should take a look at this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/ps1/ejb/ejb.html , it will hopefully answer a lot of your questions.

Opinion on using properties for your app.

I have a small application which uses a properties file. I want these properties to be global to my application. Throughout the code I may need to refer to the properties.
I created a singleton class which loads the properties file, and then I created a method for each property. So I access the properties through methods, which return the type I want, such as a String, int, boolean...
public String getProperty1() {
public boolean getProperty2() {
What do you think of this design?

The only problem I thought I saw with doing something like:
MyProps.getInt("age");
Would be that you have all of these hardcoded strings throughout your code. Also, if you make a typo it could create a few run-time bugs. I considered making a static variable and using it like this:
MyProps.getInt(MyProps.AGE);
If I needed to also make a small tweak to the actual property name, I only have to change it in one place.
public static String AGE = "newage";
I guess this really is only useful if you anticipate you may change some of the wording, which probably isn't that common.

VXML SERVER COMMO LIBRARIES FOR CVP APPS DEVELOPMENT

Hi, can anyone help me with this issue??
I'm a CVP apps developer, and when I update an CVP application via de updateApp.bat the libraries load the java virtual memory and duplicate them.
after a few app updates the virtual memory get full and crush.
I red that the solution is making global the local libraries, son I put them into the C:\Cisco\CVP\VXMLServer\common\lib. and execute the common libraries update batch file.
When I run the CVP application I have an error, it says that there is no loading the common libraries application and it is not deployed.
so please can anyone help me with that????
thanks a lot.

Can you verify from a browser that
http://1.1.1.1:7000/CVP/Server?application=HelloWorld
gets to the first VXML page of the app? does VXMLServer\admin\status.bat show 1 caller in there?
use
http://1.1.1.1:7000/CVP/Server?audium_action=hangup
to disconnect.
Is the ECC variable long enough?
I've never heard of this three dots business.

Geoff

Why the 'select & define' doesn't work for some apps? For instance CNN, newsstand.

As above.

Sounds like you've probably already looked but the CUPS article in the wiki led me through setting up a printer without any problems. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS

Customer-specific attributes (properties) for processes?

Hello community,
I already know how to define customer-specific attributes (properties) for documents stored in Solution Manager using the Document Modelling Workbench. For documents, everything works fine, so far.
But: I also want to define customer-specific properties for processes. Is this possible? If yes, how do I do that? I cannot find any related configuration options -- neither in SPRO nor in Solution Manager's own project configuration area.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi,
In SPRO, naviagete to SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Implementation/Upgrade -> Blueprint and Configuration -> Object Attributes -> Definition of Customer Attributes for Object Types

Best Practices for Packaging and Deploying Server-Specific Configurations

We have some server-specific properties that vary for each server. We'd
like to have these properties collected together in their own properties
file (either .properties or .xml is fine).
What is the best-practices way to package and deploy an application (as an
ear file), where each server needs some specific properties?
We'd kind of like to have the server-specific properties file be stored
external to the ear on the server itself, so that the production folks can
configure each server's properties at the server. But it appears that an
application can't access a file external to the ear, or at least we can't
figure out the magic to do it. If there is a way to do this, please let me
know how.
Or do we have to build a unique ear for each server? This is possible, of
course, but we'd prefer to build one deployment package (ear), and then
ship that off to each server that is already configured for its specific
environment. We have some audit requirements where we need to ensure that
an ear that has been tested by QA is the very same ear that has been
deployed, but if we have to build one for each server, this is not
possible.
Any help or pointers would be most appreciated. If this is an old issue,
my apologies, would you please point me to any previous material to read?
I didn't see anything after searching through this group's archives.
Thanks much in advance,
Paul

The one draw back to this is you have to go all the way back to ant and the
build system to make changes. You really want these env variables to be
late binding.

Paul,
I have a similar situation in our project and I don't create ear filesspecific
to the environment. I do the following:
1) Create .properties file for every environment with the same attributename
but different values in it. For example, I have phoneix.properties.NT,phoenix.properties.DEV,
phoenix.properties.QA, phoenix.properties.PROD.
2) Use Ant to compile, package and deploy the ear file
I have a .bat file in NT and .sh for Solaris that in turn calls theant.bat or
ant.sh respectively. For the wrapper batch file or shell script, you canpass
the name of the environment. The wrapper batch file will copy theappropriate
properties file to "phonenix.properties". In the ant build.xml, I alwaysrefer
to phonenix.properties which is available all the time depending on theenvironment.

How to define specific color for specific data in WebI?

Hi everybody,
I wonder how I could connect data shown in e.g. a vertical stacked bar chart to a specific color. The assignment of color in a chart is done by Webi automatically after pulling a a variable to a chart. Later on it is possible to change to color via the color palette. But how can I define a specific color for specific values of an attribute? (E.g. calue is Chicago -> color is blue; value is NY -> color is red.. etc ) Is it possible?
Does anybody know the trick?
Thanks in advance!

Clusterwide vs. Server Specific Bean Deployments

 Hello all,
 How is it possible to deploy some EJBs on specific servers within
 a cluster and others clusterwide when the weblogic.ejb.deploy statement
 in the server-specific properties file overwrites the cluster properties
 parameter? Do you end up having to deploy everything on the server
 specific level? Is a bean still truly 'clustered' if listed in
 multiple server specfic properties files (assuming <home-is-clusterable>
 is true)?
 Thanks!
 Matt


 Prasad,
 Thanks for your reply. The problem I experience is that if I have
 a ejb.deploy statement in ServerA's properties file, then any deploy
 statements in the [mycluster] level properties file is overwritten
 and those beans are not deployed. The properties files are read
 global, cluster, server, but opposite order has priority. If every
 server in the cluster has specific deployments, the cluster level
 beans will not be deployed. Is there another way to deploy, something
 like: weblogic.cluster.ejb.deploy=... or something?
 This is WebLogic 5.1 that I am talking about, btw. I'm not familiar
 enough with 6.0 clustering to know if this is also the case with
 that version. Thanks!
 Matt

Define user specific updating event in LIS

Hi everyone,
I'd like to define one specific event for one info structure, like the VC,VD....
Could you please tell me how to realize it?
thanks
Eric

It's not possible and, frankly, I don't see what purpose it would possibly serve. All the events are linked to some SD documents. It's not possible to create a completely new kind of document, therefore there is no need to create a new event.
Perhaps you've misunderstood the requirements and what you need may actually be achieved by using a formula, for example, or a different configuration.
