Externalize a properties file on a Websphere

Hi Everyone,
I hope im in the right forum.
Can you please help me to externalize a property file on a Webshpere Server. I have an application in an EAR file, and I want to externalize its properties files, so that I dont have to redeploy the EAR file again if there are changes on the properties file. Thanks so much.
Here is how I access it (inside an EAR file)
+ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle(applicationProperty);
value = rb.getString(property);
+
How about outside? or an external?
Thanks in advance!

Can you please help me to externalize a property file on a Webshpere Server. You can put it wherever you want.

Thanks so much.You are mixing 2 ideas. The first is to externalize the properties file (which i may not fully understand what you mean). The second is to update the properties file without restart. To do this you'll have to have your app watch the file and when/if it changes you'll have to explicitly reload properties and reinitialize whatever you need to.

Websphere is not loading new properties file

I am using Websphere Application Server 5.1 on WindowsXP.
My application is on Struts. I create a war file and deploy it.
I am getting all the text displayed from ApplicationResources.properites file.
I changed some key-values in that file..but the websphere is loading the page with old values..
I thought the problem could be with browser cache..I changed the JSP content to check if it loads the new jsp..It is loading the new jsp..(so the problem is not with cache)but old properties file..
I uninstalled my application and reinstalled it..stilll it did not work..
I checked the path "C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps\PC560\WMOS_war.ear\WMOS.war\WEB-INF\classes" where my war is getting extracted...
(so my latest propeties file is available to websphere)
it is showing the new properties file..but if i see the 'view source' of the page..it is showing old values..
Is it some kind of optimization of websphere? If it is so, where to change it?
Thanks

If that doesn't work, try repackaging your application into a new WAR file, with the new property files, and redeploy it. WebSphere tries to be "clever" and caches/copies files from your application into another folder when you deploy it, and will not look at these files in your application's folder within the "installedApps" folder. I learned this lesson the hard way, when I wasted days trying to understand why WebSphere wasn't recognizing changes made to my web.xml file.

Convertion of the properties file

Hi,
Does any one knows, how to convert the WLS 5.1 properties file to WLS 6.0 version. i cannot see the convert link on the default console that comes up.
Thanks,

Something to that effect at least. :) Don't have the code in front of me, but figured you would get the idea, as obviously there is more to code, especially if you want to put getting of resource items in a separate class like I did.
import java.util.MissingResourceException;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
public class PropertyParser {
     public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
     PropertyParser() {
          super();
      * @param res     Properties file name
      * @param key     Property key
      * @return string value of the requested property
     public static String getString(String res, String key) {
          try {
               return ResourceBundle.getBundle(res.trim()).getString(key.trim());
          } catch (MissingResourceException e) {
               return '!' + key + '!';
}Just took the auto generated class when you externalize strings to .properties file and customized a bit.
This way I can use one call to get any property from any file I have in classpath (e.g. PropertyParser.getString("file1","key") or PropertyParser.getString("file2","key")).
Hope that helps.

Externalize JSF bundle files ?

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to externalize my JSF bundle files running on Weblogic 9.1 ?
And if I modify them, will it be reloaded by server without start/stop ?
Best regards,
Arlo.

Hello Arlo,
you probably mean to store the properties file outside the war file. I do not have experience with Weblogic but it should be similar. I have asked about that here a week ago: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5171120&messageID=9657852#9657852.
You can search for the file in the classpath as it is explained in the link. Or you can use a static absolute path like /home/xy/ - then you can load it directly of course - which is quite improbable.
Another possibility is to have the file somewhere outside the classpath (like /home/xy/) without direct addressing. For such a case I would use two properties files: the main file at the place you choose and the additional file which will have just one entry - the absolute path to the main file. The latter file must be in a directory accessible by the webserver (see the link above).

Error reading properties file upon deployment

hi. i'm still relatively new with regards to the Java programming language. in any case... i am developing a simple project wherein the application has to make a database connection to a server. the application is finished already however.. i am having problems deploying it.
my project has a "resources" package containing the file "config.properties" which contains various information (connection details among others). correct me if im doing something wrong, but in deploying in, i copied the "dist" folder of my compiled code and then tried to run the java exe independently which resulted in an error. i already tried copying the "config.properties" file to the dist folder and even creating a "resources\config.properties" file but it still results in an error. could you please help me figure out how to deploy the application with the properties file. the code i used in referencing my .properties file is as follows:
Properties configFile = new Properties();
            configFile.load(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("Resources\\config.properties"));
            String username = configFile.getProperty("username");
            String password = configFile.getProperty("password");
            String url = configFile.getProperty("url");
            String dbtype = configFile.getProperty("dbtype");
            Class.forName(dbtype);
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); thanks in advance. ^^

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.

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.

Display data on ADF table using a VO binded to a message.properties file

Hi,
I want to display data in a JSPX page using ADF table which is based on a ViewObject. The attributes of the ViewObject should get it's value from a abc.properties file(static file).How can i achieve this.
thanks in advance.
regards,
Himanshu.

Hi Himanshu,
When you create a VO based on static values, all of the records from your VO are generated into the MessageBundel.properties file like this
devguide.entity.ViewObj.SL_0_0=1
devguide.entity.ViewObj.SL_0_1=<val1>
devguide.entity.ViewObj.SL_0_2=<val2>
devguide.entity.ViewObj.SL_1_0=2
devguide.entity.ViewObj.SL_1_1=<val1>
devguide.entity.ViewObj.SL_1_2=<val2>
You could add more lines to the properties files maintaining the same pattern. Also noticed that you can read all the values from a CSV file as well.
The last resource is to programmatically read the file and start creating new rows on the VO, which won't use any of the declarative tools for VOs.

Reading values from properties file

Hi All,
I am in need of a help from you all.I have a login.jsp which gets username and password as user input and checks in the servlet that if it was admin and admin it will take to index.jsp and if it was other than admin and other users it should take to index1.jsp.For now i am using an if condition to check the values and to dispatch the request.I need to use a properties file for this and need to check by getting the values from the properties file.And also it should check for each entry in properties file and if it finds any matches it should take to the corresponding page.
Please help me in achieving this.
Thanks,

Unable to load properties file from filesystem

Hi,
I have a client swing-applicatiion packaged in a jar-file. The application uses some resource files, including a xxxx.properties file to set defaults for the application. All resource files are included in the jar file and everything works as expected. I load the xxxx.properties file as follows:
is_ = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/resources/xxxx.properties");
Because it is not possibl to change any property values inside the jar-file without recreating this jar-file, i want to exclude the xxxx.properties file from the jar-file and put it in the folder containing the jar-file.
So i have:
drive:/folder/app.jar
drive:/folder/xxxx.properties
Now i read the xxxx.properties file from disk in stead of the 'resouce'-folder within my application (jar):
is_ = getClass().getResourceAsStream("drive:/folder/xxxx.propoerties");
but it doesn't work, the file isn't found.
What am i missing here?
Any suggestions?

The best way to approach this is to include the properties file in the Jar as you originally did. If the user changes any property, save the entire set of properties to a sub-directory of user.home (perhaps based on the package name of the main class). Check for the copy in user.home before using the 'default' properties built into the Jar.
Other places/ways to store the changed information.
- java.util.prefs.Preferences
- Assuming the app. has a GUI and can be deployed over a network, the JNLP API PersistenceService. Here is a demo. of the PersistenceService (http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#ps).
Edit 1:
I did not at first notice that this post was in Java Applet Development.
<li> Applets can also (theoretically) use cookies to store information. This is prone to failure when users disable cookies.
<li> To store information on the local file system (e.g. in user.home) or to use Preferences (AFAIU) would require trusted code.
<li> If the user has the Next Generation Java Plug-In (Java 1.6.0_10+) it is possible to leverage the JNLP API services in an embedded & sand-boxed applet.

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.

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file?

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file without clustering?
I am using oracle 10g Application server. we have 3 servers Repsvr1, RepSvr2 and RepSvr3. Now i need to configure rwservlet.properties file to point to these servers based on any running report. i got 3 keymap files with reports info.
Sample entry in the key map file is:
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
rwservlet.properties file letting me to enter only one servername. Even though i merged all 3 keymap files into 1, still i have the server name issue. If i leave the server to the default name still i am getting the below error.
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server Repsvr1 failed. However, i know the default rep_<servername> would be used incase we dont have SERVER=<value> parameter in the rwservlet.properties file.
If i specify the servername in the rwservlet.properties file then only Repsvr1 reports are working fine and other 2 server reports are giving the same error like
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed.
how can i configure the info which will work all 3 reports. 2 Port servers are invoking using oracle forms and report server is invoking using ASP pages.
If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error, whenever i am trying to integrate all 3 to workable i am getting binding error. if i exclude the server from rwservlet.properties still i am getting the same error.

My RELOAD_KEYMAP setting is YES only.As i said If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error.
keymap file entries
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
If i use http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key1 should bring the report from Repsvr1 and http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key2 should bring the report from Repsvr2, but i am getting an error from Repsvr2 saying that REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsvr2 failed.
Only Servername Repsvr1 is in rwservlet.properties file. Now what is the best option to by pass the server from rwservlet.properties file and should be from keymap file. if i comment server name in rwservlet.properties file still i am getting REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed error for both keys.

How do I read a properties file in WEB-INF without hard-coding a path?

Hello,
How do I read a properties file in WEB-INF without hard-coding a path?
I tried:
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(new FileInputStream("db.properties"));
driver = properties.getProperty("driver");
but it cannot find the db.properties file.
Thanks for the help.
Frank

Don't use a File to read those properties.
Better to use the servlet context and
getResourceAsStream() method to get the InputStream.
It'll look for any file in the CLASSPATH. If you put
that properties file in the WEB-INF/classes directory
you'll have no problems, even if you deploy with a
WAR file.Completely agree with this approach. Just have to mention the following for completeness
according to the API,
"This method is different from java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream, which uses a class loader. This method allows servlet containers to make a resource available to a servlet from any location, without using a class loader. "
So using this method, the resource can be anywhere under your web context, not just in the classpath.

Using Multiple Properties Files in Struts Framework

Hi Everybody!
I just to know how to use a multiple message-resources files in a Struts Framework.
I've 2 properties file :
1. ApplicationResources_A.properties
2. ApplicationResources_B.propertiesI put the files under WEB-INF/classes dir.
My configuration in struts-config file something like below:

     <message-resources key="A" parameter="ApplicationResources_A" />
     <message-resources key="B" parameter="ApplicationResources_B" />

</struts-config>
if my JSP code is like below , this error is thrown:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot find message resources under key A
<tr>
    <td width="17%">Language A</td>
    <td width="83%"><bean:message bundle="A" key="user.lang.desc"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="17%">Language B</td>
    <td width="83%"><bean:message bundle="B" key="user.lang.desc"/></td>
</tr>
but if I change the JSP code like below it work fine:
<tr>
    <td width="17%">Language A</td>
    <td width="83%"><bean:message key="user.lang.desc"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="17%">Language B</td>
    <td width="83%"><bean:message key="user.lang.desc"/></td>
</tr>
In this code , I dont know which resources file is used.
So how do I solve this problem. Thanks you.

I have defined the following:
struts-config.xml
<message-resources key="ldap" parameter="com/project/struts/ldap"/>
Action.java
In execute method:
MessageResources messageResources= MessageResources.getMessageResources("com/project/struts/ldap");
System.out.println("INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY"+messageResources.getMessage("INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY"));
and it is working, however I have to change "com/project/struts/ldap" value in Action.java file whenever there is any change in name or location of ldap.properties.
Can I access this properties in such way that I don't have to change parameter path manually in Action.java (modifying in struts-config.xml is okay)? like access through key="ldap" or something.
Thanks and regards,
