Faster way ? properties file vs weblogic.xml jndi context

Anyone knows what is faster way to get a value from a parameter,
a) using a properties file
b) using jndi context ( env-entries )
Anyway to get new values from a runtime changed files ?
Regards
jsanza

The real question is what are you trying to do, since that may make the
decision. If you need to be able to change a parameter, either build
parameter maintenance into your app (a page for example) or use the file
method so you actually edit the stuff.
JNDI is in-memory, which is fast. Pulling from disk will be pretty fast too
on most systems (typically it is from memory if the file has been changed,
since everything used gets cached by most OSs).

.war file vs properties 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.

Encryption for properties file in Weblogic server 6.1

My application needs to connect to a file server. I need to encrypt the password in properties file. Is there a built in encryption tool in weblogic server 6.1 to achieve that?

How can configure .properties file and log4j on weblogic 8.1 SP5

Hi,
I know this is not right forum for post this question.But I hope I'll get my perfect answer here.
I have 2 questions.
1. Where I'll keep my .properties file in weblogic 8.1 SP 5. means I have one own .properties file which is contains some proxy settings and this .properties resides on .war file(now), But I want move this propeties file outside .war file. So Where I'll keep in weblogic 8.1 SP 5.
2. How can we configure log4j in weblogic?
Please reply me.
Regards,
Pattanaik

You can add your.properties and log4j.properties to the classpath cant you?
You just need to edit setEnv.cmd (if i remember correctly) in your weblogic server folder to add the folder containing the properties files to the classpath variable.

JNDI Properties file

Hi,
Im having trouble setting up my first J2EE EJB and client program. I have managed to pinpoint the problem to be with the selection of the JNDI service provider (keep getting a NoInitialContextException).
Both client and EJB are on the same machine, and Im using Sun's app server v8 . Could someone tell me what I should have in the jndi.properties file, and where this file should be put. I have tried hard-coding the details into the program, but w/o success.
I assume that using the jndi.properties file will assign a provider globally across all applications in this server - is this true?
Thanks.

I read somewhere that the standard j2ee.jar file (which I have in my classpath) contains a default jndi.properties file to allow basic JNDI access.
If this is true, then the problem is not with these properties. Heres what I have:
I compiled the classes using javac, no problems (j2ee.jar is in the classpath).
I am trying to run the client using java -classpath ClientApp.jar FirstClient, where ClientApp.jar is the stubs/skeletons produced at deployment. This method keeps throwing a NoInitialContextException.: need to specify class name . . .
I also tried using appclient, but that threw even more errors (not entirely sure whats going on here).
I have checked over my code, and as far as I can see the problem is not in there - Im sure its something to do with the classpath or something - is there a classpath I should be adding to get the client working?
Why is J2EE so hard to learn? I find myself struggling more with footery errors than I do actuially reading and learning about how to use it.
Thanks.

Usin properties file in bpel

Can I use properties files with bpel (if can how it does?)
for tune some region options

You could write a custom xpath function and plug-in to the bpel engine to do this job.
The custom xpath function can read a property file and convert into a xml element and use that xml element inside bpel.
The tricky part is to map the properties file into a xml schema and convert the properties file into xml document. Inside bpel, the variables refer to xml elements.
Another easy solution is to use java <exec> to do the same.
-read file
-change your mail/portal data inside the java exec using setVariableData() function.

How to read properties file?

hi,all friends,can you tell me how to get information from the properties
          file such as weblogic.properties or
          user defined properties file? And where should I put the properties file?The
          location of properties file
          should not be pre-defined in the source code.I wanna get the location of
          properties file from weblogic.properties .
          Help me and thanks a lot..
          Tony tian


          Hi Tony,
          for example in your init() insert such codes:
          Properties props = new Properties();
          FileInputStream fin;
          try {
          fin = new FileInputStream("weblogic.properties");
          props.load(fin);
          fin.close( );
          catch (IOException e) {
          throw new ServletException("blabla:", e);
          and verify the key, say: weblogic.system.bindAddr, you will get a string (exist) or null (non existing). for example:
          String s = props.getProperty("weblogic.system.bindAddr");
          if (s != null) {...} // existed
          else {...} // not existed

Help in executing jsp files using weblogic server 6.0.

          I have an operating system Windows2000, i have downloaded 30 day trial version of weblogic server 6.0.
          I have a file called hello.jsp.
          Where do i have to save hello.jsp file in weblogic server 6.0.
          How do i execute hello.jsp through browser using weblogic server6.0.
          As there is no properties file in weblogic server6.0.
          TO run it i started default server and when i started default console it got opened in the browser as http://127.0.0.1:7001/console/index.jsp
          Where do i have to save it and how do i open it in the browser.
          Any help will be greatly appreciated.
          Thanks,


          I started the Start default Server and opened the http://localhost:7001/ in the bowser and by default
          this loaded the index.html file
          and when i tried to change index.html to hello.jsp i got the same error message as before

View properties file feature

Hi all,
Can this plugin display properties file (or other files loaded with loadjava utility such as xml files) loaded in the database ?
If that's not the case, is such feature planned sometime in the future ?
Many thanks,
Teggy

It depends on where you put it. With JSPs you can use Java to access the server's file system. This means you can place the properties files anywhere you want. If you place the properties file in a place accessable to the web, like under webapps folder in Tomcat, than the rest of the world can view it if they find its name. (note, the user will not see your JSP code when they access your site, they will only see the HTML output, so they will not automatically know the name of the properties file...) If you put the properties file outside the web-accessable context, like in a WEB-INF directory, then you can still access it through the JSP, and it will remain un-reacheable from the internet.

Properties File

Are properties file secure? Would someone over the net be able to obtain my properties file used for a JSP page?

Faster way to read XML files using power shell !!

At the moment i have about 1000 XML files (ranging from size 15kb to 120kb), I have a powershell script which extracts information and writes all extracts to the same LOG file!!
It works well but am only concerned with the time it takes!! it took about 1.5 hrs to finish the script! Is this normal?
How can i speed it up, your inputs and thoughts helps!!
Reading XML using the following syntax!
$Inputfile=[xml](Get-Content $XFILE)
Script has only foreach loop! and no other conditions.
cheers!

For a small file it is about twice as fast. It gets faster as the file size gets bigger.

Classpath related problem:properties file/workshopLogCfg.xml

Hi,
          I'm using wrokshop8.1. I want to use the config xml file workshopLogCfg.xml for log4j
          But when I tried to use DOMConfigurator.configure("workshopLogCfg.xml "),I got java.io.FileNotFoundExcedption,apprently it's not in the classpath---but it's under WL_HOME/common/lib----isn't it a default place the workshop will look into it? How can I specify it in the classpath within workshop(if not use commandline when start the weblogic server) or other ways to do that?
          A similar problem is,I need to read some parameters from a properties file to my program,where to put this properties file?I even tried to jar only this single properties file and put the jar in the Libraries of the Applciation in the workshop,but still get 'file not found' error---how can make it be in the classpath?
          Thanks a lot,
          -Yixin


I'm believe that Java property -Dlog4j.configuration=%WL_HOME%\common\lib\workshopLogCfg.xml is registed to JVM during startup WebLogic.
          I think you should try to get config log4j by following example, it may eliminate the classpath problem.
          is it ans your question.
          Yos L.
          Example1:
          String log4jFileName = System.getProperty("log4j.configuration");
          DOMConfigurator.configure(log4jFileName);
          Example2: Iif you use WorkShop & WebService, in JWS file you can obtain logger by -
          Logger logger = context.getLogger("async.HelloWorldAsync");
          logger.debug("about to start timer");
          // all we do here is start the timer.
          helloDelay.start();
          logger.debug("timer started");

Weblogic.XML - Dynamic JNDI

All,
In my current application we have cluster set up with JDBC Session Replication enabled. Unfortunately, i was forced to give the persistent-store-pool and persistent-store-table value directly in the weblogic.xml. Is there any way, where i can configure these values in property files and load the JNDI value in runtime? Something like ${JNDI}, ${TABLENAME}..
<session-descriptor>
<timeout-secs>1800</timeout-secs>
<invalidation-interval-secs>60</invalidation-interval-secs>
<persistent-store-type>jdbc</persistent-store-type>
<persistent-store-pool>${JNDI}</persistent-store-pool>
<persistent-store-table>${TABLENAME}</persistent-store-table>
</session-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>
Kindly help me on this aspect.
Thanks in Advance.
Cancer.

Kalyan,
Thanks a lot for your quick response.
We have different environment @ our end. Each will have different Connection Pool JNDI Name configured. we maintain a property file that holds the list of JNDI configured in that environment. Application runs without any issues.
When it comes to weblogic.xml - i cannot have the same JNDI configured in all the servers .
As of now, we will deploy the same WAR file across servers, all the JNDI name will be fetched from the property file.
Is there any way i can get the JNDI name from outside the WAR file?
Regards,
Cancer.

Deploying properties files outside of the web application in WebLogic 8.1

Hi
          I am wondering if it is possible to deploy a web application and place configuration files (properties files, log4j xml files etc...) in a folder somewhere within WebLogic that is on the Server instance classpath. This would allow me to edit the config files and restart the server without having to hack into the web application .war file and then redeploy.
          I am really looking for an equivalent of the /applib folder in Oracle 10gAS (each OC4J server instance has an /applib folder which is on the classpath of the server).
          Is there an equivalent for a weblogic server instance?? (i.e. not just for the entire weblogic server but for individual sever instances).
          thanks
          Will

WLS 9.2 includes pretty advanced features in this area. Both deployment plans and application libraries could be used. There's also a domain/lib directory where jar files can be placed and are visible throughout the server instance.
          Unfortunately 8.1 has none of these features. In 8.1, your choices are to either add these into the $CLASSPATH, or package them in the application.

Weblogic Classpath setting error not able to pick the properties file

Hi All,
We are using a third party jar and create a java Web service on the top of that jar. This jar file need two configuration file .properties and .xml when we deploy war for the application into weblogic server it will give file not found error. Though this file already exists inside the .war but from the application it is not able to pick the files.
We find that these file need to be put in weblogic domain home and we put it there and application works.
I decompile the jar and found that inside java class they use FileReader("allXXX.xml") path and when I Google it and found that it will pick the file from weblogic domain directory.
The issue is that we need to put properties file in specific weblogic folder like /3party/config by setting the class path inside startWebLogic.cmd. Please let us know solution for same
Thanks in advance

Hi , I am also facing the similer issue. I am deploying war file of my Spring MVC application , but its not picking resource bundle .properties files from one of the configuration file.
<bean id="PropertiesRepository"
          class="LanguageBasedPropertiesRepository">
          <property name="propertiesFiles">
               <map>
                    <entry key="en" value="classpath:/exceptionMessages.properties" />
                    <entry key="es" value="classpath:/exceptionMessages_es.properties" />
                    <entry key="default" value="classpath:/exceptionMessages.properties" />
               </map>
          </property>
     </bean>
Please let me know how we can modify this to make it work.
thanks .
