Where can I find the configuration manager?

Question

Hello,
I have a WebDynpro project that uses a web service provided from a third party software. The web service connection requires a username and password.
I was looking how to place a property file that can hold the username and password, independent of the sca file used to deploy the webdynpro application.
I researched over the internet, and found out that this is possible by using a configuration manager. Im kinda clueless where this configuration manager is? how to put properties to it, and read the properties to a webdynpro DC project.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
regards,
arnold

Hi,
Create a property File in the folder
src\Components\<ComponentName>, via the navigator in the NetWeaver Developer studio.
To access
// access the deployable object part of the application you are currently in.
WDDeployableObjectPart currentAppPart = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getApplication().getDeployableObjectPart();
// access the property file under the deployable object part.
IWDConfiguration cicConfig = WDConfiguration.getConfigurationByName (currentAppPart, "<name of property file>");
// get the string value of the property.
String cssKeyValue = cicConfig.getStringEntry ("<key of the property sheet>");
Rebuild and deploy the application. The property file of your application is created as a property sheet in:
Visual Admin-Configuration Adapter/webdynpro/local/<project name>/Applications/<application name>/Property sheet.
