Where to put the properties file

I am a new user of NetBeans6.0, I am making a simple application for user registration. I have coded everything but when I run project I get error caused by the dao.properties file load problem.
I have put the dao.properties file inside the classes directory(where all java class files are build after running the project) of my web application directory( I didn't create this directory though, it is automatically created by IDE), I think there is a problem with its path.
where should I put the dao.properties file so that when I run the project the Tomcat automatically find it and also, what the settings I should do?
actually, I have referred to BalusC'd DAO tutorial: the data layer but that comes in use when we are working off the IDEs, In my case since I am using Netbeans so it may be different from that one.
if someone already done that then please let me know

ok, but will it work if I upload the project in a remote host?
lets talk besides IDE, as in your DAO tutorial you have instructed to put the properties file somewhere in root of the classpaths. ok, it will work on a local computer cause there is classpath setting but since remote host doesn't know about that property file and we cant set classpath at remote host(I am not sure though if we can) then how will it work at remote host.
how the server at remote host comes to know about that property file?
In my case since I have made the project using IDE and everything regarding classpaths have been set automatically(IDE done itself), but at remote host these sort of settings are not done then how the project will run?
if I have described my problem incorrectly then please consider it as it is supposed to be.

can anyone help plz?

I am also facing the same problem. Try placing ur
class files in tomcat's /common/classes folder.
Sometimes it works. How ever it did not work in my
case. Hope it works in your!!This ain't a right way of doing it... when creating a web-app, the files should be contained in it.
The problem is can be resolved by packaging the class in say beans. Then place that class in WEB_INF/classes/beans.
Cheers!

Where should I put the configuration file?

Hi
I'm developping a web application using IBM's websphere as my application server. My application reads configuration information from a properties file.
My question is: what's the right location to put the configuration file? Should I provide a fixed path, or should I just put in the webserver's execute directory?
Thanks in advance
Pedro

I'd consider what the configuration file is cheifly
tied to.
If there are only a small number of parameters then
put them into the web.xml as initial parameters and
access then via servlet cotext.
If they are tied to some class, then I'd put the
properties file next to the relevant class file and
use getClass().getResourceAsStream().
If they relate to the web-app as a whole, I'd put
them in the WEB-INF directory and access then using
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/xxx.p
roperties");The one thing you definitely shouldn't do is use an
absolute file path.Thanks for the reply.
Forgive my ignorance, but how can I access getServletContext from my web application?
Thanks again!

Where to kept the txt file........

hello friends
i am using netBeans 4.0 for developing a demo
application. Here is the directory structure created
by netBeans for my project.
Inventory (main folder)
-------build (sub folder)
-------dist
-------nbproject
-------src
-----------------Inventory (in the src folder
          |
Under Inventory folder (just above one), I am storing
(rather netBeans) all my .java files.
Now coming to the question, I am using a text file as a
property file for the Project. I kept it with all other .java
files but the following code of line is not reading from
the line (this also happened with the images kept in
"images" folder in the same Inventory folder)
     f = new FileReader("lookNfeel.txt");Please tell me where should I kept this file (and images
folder too)
have a nice day
thnks in advance
anandScreen

hi there
if full path of txt file given, then it works
same with images under images folder
............If you're not going to be redeploying your app on different computers, possibly in different locations, then that's fine.
A more general solution is to put the properties file on the classpath, and then use Class.getResource or getResourceAsStream to find it.
Say you have the following structure
C:\myprojects\proj1\foo\Bar.class
C:\myprojects\proj1\foo\Baz.class
C:\myprojects\proj1\config\config.propertiesAnd Bar and Baz are both in package proj1.foo
Then you might run it like this, if Bar is your main class java -cp C:\myprojects proj1.foo.Bar You classpath is c:\myprojects. The packages in that classpath are proj1.foo and proj1.config.
In your Java code, when you want to load the props file, you'd do something like this: package proj1.foo;
import java.io.*;
public class Bar {
    private static void loadConfig {
        InputStream in = Bar.class.getResourceAsStream("/proj1/config/config.properties");
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.load(in);
        // etc.
} You could also look into java.util.ResourceBundle. Its rules are more complex though, and probably more than you need here.

Where do I put the .jar file for the database connection?

I am trying to connect to an Oracle 11g database. I see under the coldfusion settings summary that the java version is 1.7.0_55. So I downloaded the ojdbc7.jar file from Abode.com. Now the question is where do I put it so that coldfusion can access it?
Of course I need to set up the database connection (which I still don't have the connection string for), but I still need to know where to put the ojdbc.jar file.
Thanks.

jasonwryan wrote:What does the man page say?
The program has builtin defaults and temperature thresholds but users
can specify their own settings in configuration files
/etc/default/i8kmon and ~/.i8kmon. The daemon defines 4 states with
different fan speeds ({0 0}, {1 0}, {1 1}, {2 2}) and for each state
are defined the temperature thresholds which cause the switching to a
higher or lower state. Furthermore each state can have different
thresholds for operation on ac power or battery. For example the fol‐
lowing configuration:
I've put the following file in /etc/default/i8kmon:
# Run as daemon, override with --daemon option
set config(daemon) 0
# Automatic fan control, override with --auto option
set config(auto) 1
# Report status on stdout, override with --verbose option
set config(verbose) 1
# Status check timeout (seconds), override with --timeout option
set config(timeout) 1
# Temperature thresholds: {fan_speeds low_ac high_ac low_batt high_batt}
set config(0) {{-1 0} -1 50 -1 50
set config(1) {{-1 1} 50 70 50 70}
set config(3) {{-1 2} 70 128 70 128}
But it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 3521 with no dedicated GPU, so it only has one fan. I was somehow able to get i8kmon to work in Ubuntu by putting this config in /etc/i8kmon, but can't get it to work in Arch. Putting it in /etc/i8kmon and /etc/default/i8kmon doesn't do anything.

Where does the properties file go?

Hi Folks!
I'm trying to load a system properties file (myproperties.txt) using the example in java.sun.com. I just want to know where the properties file goes.
The example is as follows:
=========================
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.Properties;
public class PropertiesTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// set up new properties object
// from file "myProperties.txt"
FileInputStream propFile = new FileInputStream("myProperties.txt");
Properties p = new Properties(System.getProperties());
p.load(propFile);
// set the system properties
System.setProperties(p);
// display new properties
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
=======================
Could someone tell me where the file should physically reside (C:\..\..\).
Also, is it possible to get the path dynamically by using getRealPath() instead of hard coding the file path in the code..
Thanks for your assistance!
Dranim

The properties file goes where you want it to go. Just make sure you give it the full path.
To make it dynamic, just make it a parameter.
java myProg "c:\\temp\\MyProp.txt"

Where to put the GIF/JPG files so they show up in Forms Developer

Hi:
This refers to Forms 10gR2; Forms Builder running on Windows XP......
Where do I put the GIF and JPG files referenced by the "iconic filename" property so that they show up in Forms Builder? By placing them in the jar file, I can get them to appear at runtime, but NOT in development!
I have tried putting the files in the same directory as the FMB, as well as in C:\DevSuiteHome_10g\forms\java (where the image jar file resides).
In each case, I have included the path in the FORMS_PATH environment variables.
Thanks

Hi,
For design time, you need to use the UI_ICON and UI_ICON_EXTENSION environment variables. Set them in the registry.
UI_ICON=location where you have the image files.
UI_ICON_EXTENSION=Extension of your image files (ICO / GIF / JPG)
Edit :
Refer : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gnewfeatures.pdf
Search for UI_ICON and UI_ICON_EXTENSION

I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

Hi Vijay,
You can try this piece of code too:
Properties props = new Properties();
//try retrieve data from file
//catch exception in case properties file does not exist
try {
         props.load(new FileInputStream("c:\property\Test.properties")); //File location
         String serverName = props.getProperty("servername"); //Similarly, you can access the other properties
         if(serverName==null)
           //....do appropriate handling
     }     catch(IOException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
