Key Config VI or XML File?

Hello:
I want to save some configuration values that I want to load when the program executes again after close it. My program have a lot of clusters.
Which is better: use a Key Config VI or XML File? I test both and...
If I use the "Key Config VI", I can use the same file to save all the values of the different cluster but the program is bigger and more complicated because it doesn't accept clusters directly and I must save values one by one.
If I use the "XML File", I must create a lot of files (one for each cluster) but it's easier to save values because it accepts clusters.
Therefore, which is better or which do you choose? Any other suggestions?
Solved!

The OpenG config API is pretty cool

How to config the web.xml file, when I use Richfaces + RI 1.2?

Hi there:
I want to use Richfaces + RI 1.2 to build a project. I don`t know how to config the web.xml file.
By the way, my web server is Tomcat 6.0, my JDK's version is 6u6. I don`t want to use the facelets.
thanks.

Accessing config information in XML file in a Weblogic web service (JWS)

Problem:
I have implemented a web service for sending emails and pages via Java Mail and SNPP respectively using WebLogic Workshop on the BEA WebLogic 8.1 platform. In the service, I use certain pieces of information that are currently stored in an XML file on disk. Also, in its current state, the web service is implemented with public methods directly in the .jws Java file and not as a session bean. The file read from disk is performed every time the web service operation to send a message is invoked. As we all know, the I/O files access is very expensive and a performance bottleneck, especially when it is incurred on every invocation of the web service ‘sendMessage’ [operation.
Without radically re-writing the application, I am looking for a way to improve the performance of the web service and can only come up with the following 2 ways:
1) Move the code out of the sendMessage operation: Here, the main question I have is 'to where should I move it to'? I have seen in the WebLogic Workshop documentation that WebLogic Server maintains only a single instance of a Java class that implements a Web Service operation, and each invoke of the Web Service uses this same instance. In that case, I should be able to put the code in the constructor so that the files is read only at the time the class is instantiated, but a constructor in the .jws file that contains the web service operations itself does not seem to be invoked by the container (I tried to put a breakpoint in the constructor, but it seems that the constructor code never gets called)
2) Move the configuration variables into some type of standard configuration file of WebLogic, something like web.xml or wlw-config.xml or jws-config.properties files. But I found that these XML files have an associated schema to conform to and do not provide any custom elements or attributes that I could add for my application(is that true?). Also, if I can somehow put the configuration information into any of these standard files, how do I access it from within the application 'without' doing a file read from disk? Are these configuration file items available in memory for access and use by the web service and if they are, what API can I use to access and use them?
Any and all ideas are welcome!
Thanks!

I have been looking into a similar problem. Since web services are by design stateless, they aren't good for 'remembering' information between calls. Aside from a file read, the only other solution I have found is to use a database. You can make use of an entity bean or simply make some kind of JDBC call. I don't know if you need to stick with the config file, but if so maybe you could read the config data into a database once and then you might have faster access than reading from a file. I'm not sure about which would have better performace, but its all I have come up with so far. What parser are you using to read your XML file? Have you tried others to see if they have better performance?

Working with multiple faces-config.xml files

I would organize the menu definitions of my application in different faces-config.xml files. I would also put the label in different properties files.
The SRDemo application uses a unique properties file for the menu used in the el expression from the faces-config.xml.
Is it possible to have the same approach with not only one faces-config.xml file but has many faces-config.xml i want for my application.
If yes does the binding name to be different or may be the same for each file ?

We still have a litlle problem we don't find the reason. May be you can help us.
The second menu level never appear in the menu list. The menu list appear as empty.
The menu bar seem to be correct. We put twice the same model tree to be sure it was working well. Both menu appears. It is correct.

Error while encrypting the xml file using asymmetric cipher...pls help

i am encryption the xml file using asymmetric cyper....
in one class , i am generating private key and public key using "RSA" algorithm..using 1024 byte initialization...
it is generating properly...
and after that in second class i am encrypting the xml file using "DESede" algorithm and i am using public key of above class..
but i am getting exceptione :
java.security.InvalidKeyException: Invalid key length: 162 bytes
at com.sun.crypto.provider.DESedeCipher.engineGetKeySize(DashoA6275)

at demoXmlEncApp.simulateBookSellersEnd(demoXmlEncApp.java:72)
at demoXmlEncApp.main(demoXmlEncApp.java:29)
so, what is that ?
i want to use RSA algo for key generatiion and DESede for cipher initialization .
is there any site for where source code of xml file encryption using asymmetric cipher is available?
pls, help me.....

Sachin,
What sabre150 is trying to explain to you, is that encrypting data (such as an XML file) is a 2-step process. In the first step, you generate a symmetric key (such as DES, 3DES, AES) and encrypt your file with this key (and the appropriate mode and padding).
In order to ensure that your encrypted data cannot be decrypted by unauthorized individuals, you now need to protect the symmetric key. Encrypting your symmetric key with another symmetric key does not solve the problem, since you have a chain of symmetric keys that need to be encrypted into infinity.
Cryptographers solve this problem by encrypting the symmetric key with an asymmetric key, such as as RSA. To perform this second step, you generate an RSA key-pair, encrypt the symmetric key you generated in step 1 with the Public key of the RSA key-pair, and give the recipient of the encrypted XML file, access to the Private key of the RSA key-pair as well as the encrypted symmetric key.
The recipient, then uses the RSA Private key to decrypt the symmetric key first, and then uses the "plaintext" symmetric key to decrypt the XML file.
What sabre150 was also attempting to explain to you, is the traditional way of transporting an encrypted "blob" that consists of data + symmetric key. With a modern key-management system, combining the two would be unnecessary.

Parsing Error is struts xml files org.xml.s

Hello ,
I am getting a peculiar error while starting the Tomcat , the struts xml files are not being parsed correctly (they used to be before) .I get a parse error when I shut/start the tomcat (at each deployment) and hence due to the error the application fails (I guess ...)
The errors I get on the log file while starting the tomcat are ...(only part of the error stack)
parsing error processing resource path /WEB-INF/struts-action.xml
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
Servlet /ProteinBank threw load() exception
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Parsing error processing resource path /WEB-INF/struts-action.xml

Have you changed your struts-config or web.xml files?
Back it up, and try starting with a 'minimal' version of struts-config to see if it succeeds.

FME 2.5 XML File??

I am using justin.tv to stream my desktop. I can only find the 3.0 xml file. Does anyone know where I can find the 2.5 xml file or how to set up FME 2.5 to work with justin.tv? Thank you

Hi
There are lots of enhancement in V3 and some some updates in V3.2. So good to use these version for streaming purpose.
>>Does anyone know where I can find the 2.5 xml file Are you looking for Startup.xml or config.xml?
Config.xml is in <program files\adobe\Flash Media Live Enocder\config>
For Startup.xml files: Type %appdata% in window explorer and then find file in Adobe folder.

Help on web.xml file, what if the parameters contains key words ?

Hi:
I am just wondering what should I do if I want to include key words suchs
as <param> in web.xml file for a servlet config.
Example:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>testServlet</servlet-name>
<parameter>
<param-name>some name</param-name>
<param-value>some value</param-value>
</parameter>
</servlet>
What should I do if I want to repleace 'some value' with '</param-value>some
value' and still to prevent the engine to terminate parsing the param-value
at the fake ending? Is there a standard way in XML to distanguish that?
(in URL format it can be replaced %xx for some chars).
ie,
<param-value> </param-value>some value</param-value>
where the second </param-value> is the real ending.
Thank you!

Hi!
You can use "& lt ;" and "& gt ;" xml entities for that. Or wrap text element in <![CDATA[...]]> section.

No services-config.xml file

What is the process that installs this file on my server? I
dont have this file in my web directory

are you running flex data services, or just using the Flex
SDK? If you are just using the SDK (or Flex Builder) than you don't
need to have the file on your server. It just needs to be available
during compile-time.
If you are using ColdFusion keep reading...
I included a ColdFusion services-config.xml file below. You
would just need to replace [INSERT YOUR URL] with your actual CF
server URL. You could copy this file locally to your MXML
components and include the path in the compiler options using the
-services "c:\fullpath\to\services-config.xml"
compiler switch.

Read Config / Properties/ XML File in J2ME

Hi All,
We have Properties class in J2SE where in we can easily read the config or properties file and later retrieve using the key. Do we have any option of doing it in J2ME? Will reading properties file or XML file impacts the performance of J2ME application?
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep

You will need the JSR-75 api for file connection and the KXml api for parsing the xml.

How to specify the webLogic server startup script to use different config.xml file ??

Hi,
I have 2 weblogic startup scripts (startWebLogic.sh and
startWebLogic_recovery.sh) for the same domain.
startWebLogic.sh uses config.xml file.
I would like to use config_recovery.xml as the configuration file for startWebLogic_recovery.sh
How would I do this ?
I am using WebLogic Server 6.1 on SunOS 5.8 / HP-UX 11.0.
Appreciate any help.
Regards
Gunaseelan Venkateswaran

I guess you're using Weblogic 6.1 with WLCS 3.5. I think you're supposed to work with one config.xml for the same domain, and not have a different config.xml.
To start up different applications or EJBs, use the "target" property to control which applications to start up for the particular instance.

Trying to dynamically load CSS for project at compile time via config XML file to select CSS file.

I'm using the same code base to compile different versions of a project. Each project has different base fonts. I've created multiple css files that use the same style names. The idea being that in the code I reference the style names, then the loaded CSS determines which font (and size, color, etc) is used for each style name.
The CSS files are compiling to SWFs, and those SWFs are referenced in config.xml files. Before compiling, I select the config file to use.
I am loading the CSS SWF files via the StyleManager in the Application.mxml, like so:
styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations( _contentData.elements( 'cssPath' ).@path )
The path traces out correctly as:
assets_embed/styles/project2.swf
For some reasone I must include an fx:Style line in the Application.mxml file or no fonts are recognized. Example:
<fx:Style source="assets_embed/styles/project1.css"/>
If I reference the css for project one (as done above) then most, but not all, styles work. Some styles reference the fonts from the project 1 css, others properly use fonts from project 2 swf. If I point to the CSS for the project I'm compiling in the <fx:Style > tag then all fonts work, but that defeats the goal of using XML rather than code to identify the styles.
So, why do I need the fx:Style line if the css is being loaded via StyleManager?
Why is there "cross talk" between style definitions?
Is there a better way to select styles at compile time?

I read this quickly so I might have missed a detail. I think your describing an issue with recent Flex releases that is described in the fine print somewhere. If you don't have any fonts embedded in the main app and are only bringing in fonts embedded in CSS SWFs, you have to force-link the EmbeddedFontRegistry by adding something like this to the main app's script block.
import mx.core.EmbeddedFontRegistry; EmbeddedFontRegistry;
(Yes, "EmbeddedFontRegistry" is in there twice, once to define the fully qualified name, the other to create a class dependency to force the linking).

Issue with faces-config.xml file

Hi,
I'm working on a project which needs more no. of JSF Pages and JSF Navigations,
But when i trying to creat pages more than 25 pages,the process becoming too slow,does this
effects the Application performance?Can any one suggest me why it happens and what are the
limitations for creating the JSF pages.
Does their any alternative to solve this Issue,I'm thing to create more faces-config.xml files as the
Jsf pages increases,does this solves?
Please suggest me.
Thank you,
Bandaru,

Hi Bandaru,
Are you trying to use the visual diagram option of faces-config? Coz i encountered difficulties when using it with many pages (more than 40) and the faces-config.oxd_faces was no longer able to support the diagram. "Solution" was to use only the overview and the sources of the faces-config. I don't know exactly but my problems were caused by the faces-config.oxd_faces and i don't think it affects performances for the application.
For information, that was on a Jdev 10.1.3.0.4

Tif
