Where property files should go for *.ear

I am trying to get log4j to work with my J2EE application for the web part of it.
Where should I put log4j.properties for web application in the *.ear file.
I have tried WEB-INF\classes under the document root, but it did not work, then I tried to put log4j.properties at the same level as web jar file (just directly in *.ear file) and specify the class path in manifest for web jar file as �./�, but it still does not work.
Any other ideas?
Janusz

Hi
This is due to Class loading..
I suggest u to read the sample chapter Classloaders and J2EE available at the following link.
http://www.theserverside.com/books/review/J2EESurvivalGuide.jsp
This will give u an good insight into ur problem and will give u an solution ofcourse
Thanx

Property file should be externalize and outside the archive (say ear) ?

My team architect is suggesting me to externalize the property files like locale resources (e.g messages.en.properties ), log4j (e.g log.properties) etc .The reason is to avoid recompiling incase of changes to this resources.
Example tomorrow if something goes wrong in production and we want to enable the debug log,then we can change the property file ,restart the server and we are good.If it was inside the archive file we have to create a brand new
a brand new archive file ,redeploy it and restart the server again.
In my entire work experience I never externalized this resources because they are inherent part of the archive file.Hence any changes then recreate the archive file and redeploy.
The team architect might have some good reason.
Please advice.
Thanks

Where REP files should be placed ?

Hi All,
I'm a newbie in Forms & Reports. Now I'm facing a situation. I have a form with the following procedure on button:
RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'MYREPORT',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,TO_CHAR(NULL),NULL);
Whenever this button is pressed , a exception raises (Frm-40735: when-button=pressed trigger raise unhandled exception ora-06508). I think that exception is raised due to the location of MYREPORT.rep file. I don't know where it should be placed.
That's is my question: Where *.rep files must be placed?
I'm running Oracle Forms & Reports 11g R2 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks a lot.

That would depend on the source directory of your reports server:

I built a website with iWeb on my older mac and launched it on the internet. The hardrive crashed which was where the files were saved for the website. Is there any way to recover it through the internet onto my newer computer?

Is there any way to recover this website? I need to edit it but the original files were wiped clean even after recovering what was left on the hard drive.

iWeb stores its sites and pages in a proprietary package format on the HDD in the user library, and when FTP'ing it to the server, it's a set of PHP and other file types. So, there is no way you can re-build from what's on the server.
But you may double-check, the file in question on the HDD is ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2 (where ~ is your user home folder). Maybe it's somewhere among your recovered files? Restoring it into the same location and copying iWeb into the Applications folder will get you going again.
Other than that, here is a discussion forum dedicated to iWeb.

How to know if a property file that I use in my program is updated

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how my program can know as soon as the property file/any file that I'm intersted in, has been updated at runtime. Something like JBoss descriptor etc, as soon as we make a change the app server knows of that change ?
I need this technique for updateing my static variables in memory as soon as there was a manual change to any properties at runtime.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
- Liju P.Oommen.

One way to do it would be to wrap the process used to update the property file itself. For example if you provided a GUI that people used to change the properties and this GUI also notified your program when the properties changed you could maintain consistency.

JSP Registry could not locate runtime property file

          At runtime, my JSP is throwing an exception claiming to be not able to find the property
          file. I have found the exact property file in the jar located on the server. I've
          tried extracting it and placing it in different places and adding the file and directory
          to the WebLogic classpath. I'm not sure what else to try.
          Here's the exception:
          Loading from CLASSPATH cat_test4_cat_pkg_Cat_pkgModule.properties
          java.lang.RuntimeException: JSP Registry could not locate runtime property file:

          at java.lang.Exception.<init>(Compiled Code)
          Thanks.


When you generate a webapp or use the JSP element wizard , a property file is created for you that contains some startup parameters. This file needs to be available in the classpath. This errors comes up becuase the file is not avalable in the classpath.

Generic Message Bundle Property Files

Hi
I am using a generic message properties file, which is contained in a seperate java project too the model and view controller projects. In our custom validations on the entities I am referencing the custom messages from the resources project. When running the application module the correct error messages are displayed. However the error messages are not correctley displayed in the UI and the following error message is displayed,
Error: STRINGMANAGER: Message file: 'java.util.ResourceBundle.msg_en_ZA' not found. (Looking for 'InvalidJobId').
I have tried including the resource bundle in the view controller project, firstly in the project properties as a Resource Bundle and as a jar file without succes.
Any help in resolving this would be appreciated.
Regards.
Leon.

I suggest that you verify your browser locale. It seems that it is set to ZA and you don't have a property file (ResourceBundle.msg_en_ZA) for that locale.
Alternatively, rename to or create the file ResourceBundle.msg_en_ZA.

Where to put property files used by XSLT extensions?

Still fighting with Java XSLT extensions. I have narrowed the
problem down: my XSLT extension cannot find its property file,
which I use to store JDBC connect strings etc.
What is the proper directory to put this file so the XSLT
extension class can find it? I am using Oracle HTTP Server with
XDK 9.0.

Thanks for the answer, Steve!
Depends on what call you're using in your extension function to
read your properties.Maybe I tried a too simplistic approach. I'm just using this:
Properties props = new Properties();
try {
props.load(new FileInputStream("/foo.properties"));
etc.
This (with the slash) works if the properties file is in the root
directory of the filesystem, but it's a kludge.
If you read your properties as a resource using
getResourceAsStream(), then where the classloader expects to
find your file depends on the resource name that you specify.So maybe I should use getResourceAsStream() then? What if I put
the properties file inside the JAR with the extension classes?
Or is there any way to reference the web root?

Relative path for servlet property file.

I have the following java file. When I use the absolute path for the configFile, it works. I would like to know how I could use it as relative path as in installation, the name of the directory could change.

hi there,
had the same problem... you need to use following API:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
In your case something like that:
// get the servlet context
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
// directory name where the file is located
String realPath = context.getRealPath("/config");
// get real path to your file
String propertyPath = real+"filename.txt";
hope that helps!!

I need help every time my iTunes library updates i get this error messege: The iTunes.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. but the file should be there.

Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.

I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

JDeveloper 10g, ADF, ANT:How to define ant task for EAR & WAR file creation

Creating cache for multiple property files run time/dynamically.

Hi,
I have a requirement, where in I need to create cache for each property file present in a folder at server side or in the lib or resources directory. Please help me how I can do this?
Thanks.

ok thank you.
I follwed this method implementation:
static HashMap<String, HashMap<Object, String>> cacheHolder = new HashMap<String, HashMap<Object, String>>();
     static HashMap<Object, String>[] cache = new HashMap[2];
     static Integer fileCount = 0;
     static int incrementSize = 2;
public method1(Map<Object,String>map){
File file = new File((new StringBuilder(
                         "ABC/XYZ/")).append(value)
                         .toString()); // where value is the file name returned from the external method
               int newSize = existingMapLength+incrementSize;
               if (someVal== null) {
                    synchronized (fileCount) {
                         int oldSize = cache.length;
                         if(fileCount==cache.length){
                              HashMap[] oldData = new HashMap[oldSize];
                              oldData = cache;
                              cache = new HashMap[newSize];
                              LOGGER.info("New Size added:==>"+cache.length);
                              for(int i=0;i<oldSize;i++){
                                   cache[i] = oldData;
                              cache[fileCount] = readExternalPropertiesFile(file); // external method which returns the properties of the file in hashmap
                              cacheHolder.put(value, cache[fileCount]);
                              keys = cache[fileCount].keySet();
                         else{
                         cache[fileCount] = readPropertiesFile(file);
                         cacheHolder.put(value, cache[fileCount]);
                         keys = cache[fileCount].keySet();
                         someVal= cache[fileCount];
fileCount = fileCount + 1;
Please let me know if any improvemnets are possible.

Where is a good source for text files?

Hi
I've just finished implementing a huffman tree and been testing it out. It seems to be working fine - encoding and decoding results look correct.
However, I really want to test this tree out with a larger 'dictionary', so that I can construct a larger tree and check if performance is any slower. Does anyone know where I can find a collection of large text documents that I can easily download and have my code run over it?
I tried googling, but haven't came across anything useful. Ideally, I would like to find documents of different topics. e.g. medical, computing, and a more general type that resembles everyday language. The reason I am wanting these is so I can test the encoding of different text on different tree types. Thus, encoding a computer journal on a tree constructed from the frequencies of a medical text file, should yield poorer compression than encoding the same computer journal on a tree constructed from the frequencies of a computing text file.
Thanks

Google "project gutenberg" for a bunch of text.
Plain ASCII isn't enough for pictures and many fields' texts. So a lot of modern texts tend to be PDFs and such, which might not suit your purpose.
Maybe you could also use web pages as test data. Write a program that googles for "medical", downloads the first 100 hits, optionally replaces <.*> with a space, and runs your program on that.

Where can I find the backup files in iTunes for my iPhone, I want a copy

Where can I find the backup files in iTunes for my iPhone, I want to copy the backup files for all app's and phone numbers, I'm using Windows XP
I just need to know where its hiding, a link that shows an address where would sure help

First you'll need to make sure your XP is set up to view hidden files and folders.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Now you should be able to track down your backup file at the location in the following document:
