          Herr Bedekar,
          The servlet spec helps you out here. Check out:

HOw to access ApplicationResource.properties file using getSystemResource

I am using struts. I need to access ApplicationResource.properties file, which I define my connection String there. All my methods are static method, so I cannot use getResourceAsStream() method from ClassLoader class, so i have to use getSystemResourceAsStream() method. However, I always get class not found error. Inputstream is always null.
my ApplicationResource.properties file is stored in projectname/classes, and all my other classes store in projectname/classes/com/testname/. Can anybody tell me how to make it work? Thank you in advance.
Here is my code:
private static String getConnectionURL() throws FileNotFoundException,IOException,ClassNotFoundException
Properties properties = new Properties();
InputStream fromFile = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("ApplicationResources.properties");
if (fromFile !=null)
properties.load(fromFile);
String connectionURL = properties.getProperty("progressiveURL");
return connectionURL;
}

Try either:
ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("/ApplicationResources.properties");
or
YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/ApplicationResources.properties");
in either case, you need to add the "/" prefix.

Hi All
I have created an genric application .I have jdevloper 11.1.1.3.I need to add the .properties file in my application and access that properties file in my .jspx page.
so i have created the Resources folder and added the properties file in that folder and now i am trying to access that contents of that properties file in my jspx page using below code
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
          xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
          <f:loadBundle basename="Resources.sampleproperty" var="props"/>
           <af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1">
             <af:outputText value="testing" id="ot1" />
              <af:outputText value="#{props['sample.label.text1']} " />
              <af:outputText value="#{pageFlowScope.UserId}" />
          </af:panelGroupLayout>
</jsp:root>but iam not able to access the propert and blank page is only displayed
so what more steps i need to do to access it?
Note:-previously i created the application of type Fusion Web Application ,where it added the folder named view and we used to add the .property file in it and accessed the contents of the .property file using above code and tthe above code was running fine.
Thanks and Regards

by adding the following code in faces config.xml
<application>
<resource-bundle>
     <base-name>com.property.sampleproperty</base-name>
      <var>props</var>
    </resource-bundle>
</application>note :The sampleproperty.properties should be present in java package com.property.sampleproperty

I have tried placing in: src/mimes, Configuration etc...but i am unale to access it.
Also If i access the properties file and update it, do i again need to deploy the WD application.
Kindly let me know if there are any better methods to store key value pairs from the application.
Regards,
Archana

HI,
The better approch will be to store the .properties file into a known folder manually created in the server where the Application is deployed?
That means where?
Itried placing my .prpoerties file at several places in my Project(Not server)- Mimes, Configuration, Packages.
I tried the same kind of code u specifed.
But the file.exists returns false, though there is a file in the location.

How to give Path for a properties file

Hi,
I am using a SQL.properties file to load all my SQL statements to my EJB JDBC prepared Statement. I have placed the SQL.properties file in com.company.sql package. I have another SQL class in the same package which is loading the SQL.properties file to cache for future use. I am using the path as "SQL.properties" (the file name straight ) in the SQL class to access the properties file.
I am using Sun App Server 7. To get access to this file I need to copy the SQL.properties file to the config directory of the app server instance. Otherwise it is not able to locate the file. I don't want to put the properties file in the config directory of the app server instance. Please help me, what path I have to give to access the file from the package itself, rather from the config directory of server instance.
I think , some one who is doing localization can help me out here. They have to put the localized properties file to access the text out of it. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Amit

You can use ResourceBundle class to load this properties file from the classpath:
ResourceBundle props = null;
props = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.company.sql.SQL");

I am using the propeties file to get the SQL statements. I have all the SQL query statement in the properties file. I am creating a preparedstatement after getting the statement from the properties file with the id like we do in ResourceBundle. If I keep the properties file in the config directory of the Sun App Server instance , then it is working fine. But If I don't keep it there, then it is giving me a file not found exception.
My SQL class which is accessing the properties file are in same package (com.company.sql). But still it is not able to find the file. As suggested by you, I tried it by giving the path as com.company.sql.SQL. Still it did not found the file. The file is there inside the WEB-INF/classess/com/company/sql/.
Thanks

EAR file and properties file

Hello,
I am wondering if an application (java classes for instance) can read a .properties file inside the ear package, when the application is deployed ?
(only reading of course)
Thank you

I'd recommend using ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream to access the properties file.
This means the file needs to be in the resource path of your classloader. In WLS, an easy way to do this is to have it in the APP-INF/classes directory of your EAR file.

Externalizing the Properties file in JSF

Hi,
I want to access a properties file located in "C:\" drive in JSF.
In case if i move the file to some "D:\" location, only changing its path
should work for me. Is there anyway of externalizing the properties file
rather than keeping it in WEB-INF?
Thanks in advance

It depends on how the code is written.
I assume you're calling the files using the ResourceBundle.getResourceBundle method: if you do this during the initialization (server startup) you need just to restart the ejb module to make it re-read the files.
I'm quite in a similar situation (WAS4, lots of .properties)and every time I make some changes to my files I need to restart the applications in order to make them read such modifications.
In no case you should redeploy the ejb module (if this is the case, there must be something wrong somewhere else...)

JSP and location of .properties file

Hi,
I have a directory in my C:\apache\tomcat\webapps directory entitled "ignmDBInt".
I have a jsp file in this directory that works successfully. I would like it to open a .properties file. However, it cannot be found.
Where should this .properties file be located?
My code to access the .properties file is below.
//opent the config file and get the field names
ResourceBundle myResourceBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Properties");
String fieldNames[] = myResourceBundle.getString("fieldNamesDelimited").split(",");
String properNames[] = myResourceBundle.getString("properNamesDelimited").split(",");

That last reply fixed it. Thanks!
I didn't realize you had to set JSPs up like servlets.

How can I access the properties of Microsoft files (excel, ppt, and word)

Hi,
How can I access the properties of common Microsoft file formats (Excel, Word, and Powerpoint) from a Java program. You can access/modify the properties of each document type using File->Properties in each MS application. The properties are essentially name/value pairs.
Basically, I need to write a java program that scans a directory and accesses the properties in each of the MS files in the directory.
thanks,
-john

By api. That is only way to establish a contract with the MS programs you want to interface with, unless you write an api yourself! I've used POI and it was an awesome way to use Excel in java. I created an excel spreadsheet from the results of a sql query from a batch program and then it was automatically emailed using javamail to my client. I had a lot of VBA experience with Excel, Word, and Outlook and it didn't take me long to get used to using Jakarta-POI.
Now I see there is Jakarta-POI-HWPF which works with MS Word documents. Go to: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
