Java properties file

Hi ,
I am using trying to write data to a java properties file , by using the setProperty method and somehow the order of the data is not by the order of inserting it ,Is there a way to use the setProperty method and still keep the order of data in the file after storing it.
Thanks.

If it does, you aren't doing something right.
If the order matters, that suggests that somebody is responsible for maintaining the properties via a text editor, or something like that. In which case you shouldn't be using a Properties object which modifies the property file. But as soon as you start having two different processes to maintain the file, you're going to run into trouble. So simplify your life and stop doing that. Either maintain it through the program, or through the text editor, but not both ways.

Static lookup lists:read data from a Java *.properties file

Hi
i need to make static lookup lists i am using read data from a Java *.properties file
i am using the Class "PropertyFileBasedLookupViewObjectImpl" that wrote by Steve Muench in ToyStore.
but i need to use the default language for that i update the loadDataFromPropertiesFile()
method to find the correct properties file
String temp=Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();
String propertyFile =
getViewDef().getFullName().replace('.', '/')+"_"+temp+ ".properties";
the problem:
For English(TEST_en.properties) it is good and working
For Arabic(TEST_ar.properties) read from correct file _ar.properties
but the dispaly character is wrong
When Debug
In the File 1=دمشق
In debug 1=/u32423

Depending on your use case you can either use a programmatic VO or directly expose the JV class as a data control.

How to configure Java Properties File location in WLW

How do we tell Workshop 7.0 where to look for Java properties files (loaded by
PropertyResouceBundle in code) ?
Thanks,
Ray

Ray,
The build number indicates that you have not upgraded to Service Pack 2 of
version 7.0. I will strongly recommend you to do so. That will shield you
from the issues which were fixed in the 2 service packs.

We are using WebLogic Workshop Build 7.0.1.0.0829.0 on Windows 2000.
We shut down the WebLogic Server on Solaris 2.6, log off, log back on,startWebLogic
in production nodebug mode, and re-run jwsCompile on the same source code.The
error does not occur anymore. Everything seems to be fine now.

Thanks for your response!
By moving the property files to WEB-INF/classes from WEB-INF, we arealmost there.
But we have a follow up problem. We use a static initializer to loadthe
log4j
property file like this:
static {
try {
ClassLoader cl= (new Log()).getClass().getClassLoader();
InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream(logfile);
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(is);
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
When we run jwsCompile, we keep getting this:

ResourceBundle looks for the properties file in the current thread's

Since a Workshop webservice's project is nothing but a webapp, the
properties files can be kept in the WEB-INF/classes directory, which
is part
of the webapp classpath.
You can also use

How to load Java properties file dynamically using weblogic server

Hi,
We are using Java properties file in Java code. Properties in java properties file are frequently modified. If I keep these properties file in project classpath or as part of war, I will have to redeploy application after each change.
We are using Weblogic Server.
Can you please suggest me how can this properties file be loaded at weblogic server startup. Then in that case, how to refer property file in Java code?
What is the best practice for this?
Thanks,
Parshant

Another alternative is, keep the property file in any pre-defined location. Write a class which reads the properties from the file and returns the one which is requested by caller and deploy this class. Whenever you have to change the properties just update the property file on server and next call to fetch the property should return the updated one.
Downside of this approach is file I/O everytime. To overcome that you can actually "cache" the properties in a hashmap. Basically when any property if requested, first check the hashmap, if not found then only read from property file and also update in hash map. Next time same property will be returned from hash map itself. The hash map will be cleared at every server restart since its in the memory. You will also need to build a method to clear the hashmap when you update the values in the property file on server.
This solution would be suitable for small size files and when network overhead of calling a DB needs to be avoided.

Need help for how to putting arabic content in java properties file

Hi all,
we have to support arabic in Java application.
For that we are using java propeties file where key and value pair is used.
In the Microsoft excel sheet arabic content is coming properly from right to left direction.
When same thing is copied and paste in java properties file contents direction is reversed that is it is coming from left to right as in english.
Please help how to put the arabic contents in propeties file
Regards
Vidya

So in terms discussion.
First I would suggest that you get a hex editor and validate exactly what is in the properties file. It appears to me that you are using one or more editors that are adjusting the display for you and thus that makes it hard to determine where the problem is. A hex editor should not adjust the display. Although even then you might want to right a simple java app and have it read bytes and print them just to validate that the hex editor isn't doing something.
Only after you are exactly sure how the bytes appear in the file then proceed with other steps.
For the java GUI only test the following.
1. Properties file has it left to right then the java GUI displays it correctly right to left or not?
2. Properties file has it right to left then the java GUI displays it correctly right to left or not?
Myself I would expect that 2 should be the correct way to implement this. However that is dependent upon you correctly invoking the api as well. So if 2 is not working then you might want to look at the api. It might also have something to do with GUI display properties (of which I know even less.)

Using variables in a java.properties file

Hi,
I have a .properties file that I'm using to configure an app. I was wondering if there is a way to set a property = to an already defined property and more. So for example:
app.siteroot=c:\tomcat\webapps\myapp
app.templatefolder= app.siteroot + \templates
I know the above won't work but is something like this possible?
Thanks
krebsnet

I don't think there's anything in the core APIs that let you do anything like that. You can probably find something 3rd party though.
I know ant lets you do that:dir1=foo
dir2=${dir1}/bar It's possible that the code that does that is available in a library from jakarta. Or you could check sourceforge, or mindproducts (or is it just mindprod?)

Direction of middle eastern languages in properties file

Hi,
I am hoping someone can point me to an authoritative source or document specifying which direction the Hebrew / Arabic / Farsi text should be entered in java properties files. That is, does it follow the natural direction of the script (right-to-left) or does it follow the direction of key (left-to-right)? I have tried searching without much luck.
For example:
sample.properties
# english properties file
sample.text=hellosample_he.properties (for the purposes of demonstration I am using english characters, in reality this would be the Hebrew and escaped)
# hebrew properties file using the natural direction (right-to-left)
sample.text=molahsOR is it
# hebrew properties file using the english direction (left-to-right)
sample.text=shalomthanks in advance,
Ben

Why don't you just do a test? It's a simple matter of applying a few Arabic strings to a properties file and checking how it looks in the UI.
Or try thinking about it for a couple of seconds - how would a translator (anybody creating the bidi localized versions) create the left-to-right version you describe?
Anyway, the answer is that bidi text in properties files is entered and stored the way bidi text is entered and stored in any other normal text file.

Hi,
1) put .properties file to your packege under src\packages folder (src\packages\com\sdn\properties\jco.properties)
2) load property:
     final InputStream is = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("com/sdn/properties/jco.properties");
     final Properties properties = new Properties();
     try
          properties.load(is);
     catch(Exception e)

 ex.printStackTrace();

But this code is giving java.lang.NullPointerException at prop.load(is) 
please help me....

hi,
 If you are loading a resource (property) file from a jar file you can use
getResourceAsStream("com/test/test.properties").
 if the propery file is in outside of your jar file . you can use
Property portalProps = new Property ();
try {
 FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream("<FilePath + FileName>");
 portalProps.load(fileInputStream);
 fileInputStream.close();
 } catch (IOException e) {
 //Log the error

Java Internationalization and .properties files

Hi everyone,
Isn't it problematic that the way to internationalize your java apps ( .properties files ) doesn't support UTF-8 and you have to user gibberish looking unicode escapes. Some will say that you don't need to write and the converters or editors will handle the ascii conversion but the requirement for such a intermediate process doesn't seem right. Sometime you have to edit some string on the server and it should be human readable using text editors that support UTF-8. I thought loadFromXML and storeToXML methods that came with java 1.5 seemed to solve the problem but than noticed that PropertyResourceBundle doesn't support xml properties files. Is backwards compatibility the reason that properties files aren't utf-8 by default?
Thanks

Try PRBeditor (http://prbeditor.dev.java.net).

Configure properties file that java file uses in OSB.

I have a jar file consisting of java files which maintain the session id in the queue. One main jar depends on 3 more jars for logging.
Also java files in the jar depends on the *.properties file to read the queue length dynamically.
I need to access the main jar from osb proxy server. I used java callout to access the java method provided in the main jar.
My question is: where should I place *.properties which is used by java class, in the osb folder. I don't see how I can add *.properties in the osb console.
Your timely help is greatly appreciated.

another java class which loads property file...I'm understanding that you don't have way to modify this +"another java class"+, but you have to figure out what strategy it uses to pick up the properties file... classpath? environment variable? absolute path? relative path?
If the file needs to be on the classpath (a common strategy) then you can just place the it in %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\soa-infra... This one is usually in the classpath... Other option is to change setDomainEnv.cmd(setDomainEnv.sh) to add a directory to the classpath and place the file there...
Hope this helps...

Properties files in a Java package not included in DC build

We are developing a Portal Standalone DC and i have a JspDynPage component within it. and i need to do internationalization in it. so as part of that i want to keep multiple resource bundles(properties) so that i could manage my properties files easily, For example
MSS.properties
MSS_es.properties
ESS.properties
LSO.properties
since portal by default has no way to do this bcos it allows only one resourcebundle to specify in portalapp.xml file, i have kept the resource bundles in java package like
com.companyname.portal.resources.
when i export from NWDS with selection of "i want to add non java resources into jar " option from windows->preferences->enterprise portal ->application development studio, it exports all the properties files as part of the par and everything works. but when i do the DC build it ignores all my properties files and it is not working. any suggestions on how to resolve this??? does SAP provide any other way of handling multiple properties files inside a PAR?????

We are using NWDS 2004 SP19. and yes i have defined three default SCs as dependencies. I tested with 2004s NWDS and it seems work fine. I am able to resovle this issue by moving my properties files into another java DC and create public part in java DC and use those public parts in Portal application DC.
So The problem of not including the properties files into Jar seems to be issue only in Portal Application DC not in Java DC. thanks everyone for the quick responses..

Passing Arguments/Properties File to SUN JAVA ONE WEBSERVER at startup

We are porting a Java App currently running on an Orion Web Server to Sun Java One Web Sever.
We have found that with the various java application servers we've used over the years, that each want to find the properties file in a different spot. They way we've got around this is that we start Orion with a -D option to java to set a system property called cdsProps. Example: java -DcdsProps=Path_to_properties_file. We then reference that cdsProps arugment throughout the java code so it knows where to find the properties file. Because the cdsProps argument is used thoughout the java code, if the -D option is not used when starting the webserver to point to the properties file, the website will not function properly.

in the case above, the command line arguments are passed in the aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggs array
you probably want aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggs[0] for the filenameAm not sure i understand, do you mean i must change the param of the main method to String[] args[0] as this resulted in error when i did so. Or do you mean at command line instead file simply being passed to the Compressor program as
"java Compressor < examplefilename"
It has to be "java Compressor < examplefilename[0]" ?
If you could expand on this, would be grateful,
Thanks.
