Where to store a custom properties file in an EJB 3 deployment

In a web application I can store my own properties file in WEB-INF. However a EJB 3 deployment does not have such a directory.
Where is the correct place within [an ejb 3 jar file] to store my properties file, and how do I retrieve it. (Do I need an absolute url or just a url that checks the classpath?)
Thanks,
nat

For JBoss they use something like :
String filename = System.getProperty("jboss.server.home.dir") + "/conf/application.properties";
It will be located in jboss/server/[server-name]/conf/application.properties

Custom properties files in enterprise project

Hi,
I created a enterprise application containing 3 projects:
- EAR project
- EJB project
- Web project
And I added a properties file in :
-EAR project/EarContent/APP-INF/afile.properties
The content of this file is :
Host=<path to host>
Port=389
And I have a .jar file that uses this properties file that is located in :
-EAR project/EarContent/APP-INF/lib/afile.jar
Then I add .jar file, through EAR project --> Right click --> Properties --> Deployment Assembly --> Add --> Archives from workspace
It is then shown under EAR porject - Deployment Descriptor - Bundled Libraries - Library Directory
When running the application, the JAR file executes as it should, but it cant find the properties file.
In the .jar file I have a java file that locates the properties file and elements like this :
private static final String BROKER_PROPERTY_NAME = "afile";
brokerResources = PropertyResourceBundle.getBundle(BROKER_PROPERTY_NAME);
String host = brokerResources.getString("host");
int port = Integer.parseInt(brokerResources.getString("port"));
Anyone know where to put the properties file to be able to get this to work?
Regards, reZer

Hi, thanks, it works :)
After Clean, and Publish, and restart , remove, add it runs :)
Is the Classes directory available when deploying to an production environment? So that I can change the content without the need for å redeployment?
I could figure out where Weblogic stores deploymentfiles in my domain, EAR, WAR, EJB files, and lib and classes dir.

Editing log4j.properties file of ear while deploying ear file.

Hi,
Can i edit log4j.properties file of ear while deploying ear file.
~ Dhiraj.

javainstead:
>>is MyFolder in the root? else you mite wanna try giving the entire path starting from the root
No the "MyFolder" is not in the root. Normally if we give the file name alone, it will store in a directory. Instead of storing in that directory, i want to have create another subfolder under that directory and storing the file in it. This is my need.
OS: Windows 2000.
zakir_sh:
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG,myproj
log4j.appender.myproj=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.myproj.File=/u3/logs/myproj_webapp_logs/dev_region/mylogfile.log......
I gave relative path like this and got the file not found error.
log4j.appender.myproj.File=/MyFolder/error_file.log

How can i locate the properties files within a ejb container?

when i develop servlet+javabean structure application,in order to imploement decoupling,i
would like to write the config information in the properties files(key-value pair),in
servlet,i use "getResourceAsStream(String relativePath)" method to retrieve the
configuration information from the properties files(i even write the SQL clause
in the files),it alwsys works well.
now,i want to implement such function within the ejb container,that is to read
a properties file from session bean,but i don't know how can i locate the file
within the ejb container by using relative path,i wonder if there is the same
method within ejb container as "getResourceAsStream(.......)" method within servlet
container?
thanks for any helps!
the code snippet is appreciated!

In general, you should look at using environment entries (variables) in the
deployment descriptors (both the war and EJB jar rather than properties
files for configuring J2EE applications. The reasons for this are many:
1. This is the official way to do it according to the spec. Properties
files are the J2SE way of doing things
2. As you note, that it's not obvious how you would (legally) read a
properties file inside an EJB.
3. It's consistent between the web and EJB part of your code
4. the weblogic console and tools have good capabilities to edit these
fields.

Where to include the jpos.properties file?

Hi,
We have a code that needs to be run. I have used the netbeans to do it. I understand that netbeans has its own environment variables that makes the application independent. The code works in netbeans but when i try to run it in the command line, this appears:
"jpos/res/jpos.properties not found"
As i had traced it, the directory(where jpos.properties resides) which i added in the Libraries was not copied in the dist folder. It says that it "...is a directory or can't be read. Not copying the libraries."
It is very important that this jpos.properties be copied since there are a lot of abstract classes used in the code.
Does anyone know where i should include this jpos.properties file?
thanks. :)

I've already made it run through the command line. I just included the jpos.properties in the jar package.
Thanks to all the replies.
Apology to someone who was bugged due to my crosspost.

Where does the System's Properties file locate?

I have searched it in the path : Java_Home\jre\lib
But i couldn't found.
I want to add some Properties to it but i don't want to do it at runtime by using System.setProterty().

You can define preferences. But using these are more complex than system properties.
No matter how you define the System properties in the end setProperty or setProperties needs to be called at runtime. These properties are runtime settings.

Where to store customized modelsupport2 and reportgen*.seq files

We currently put all customized model and front end sequences under c:\Documents and Settings\...\TestStand 4.1\Models etc. We have since customized modelsupport2.* and reportgen*.seq files found in Program Files\NI\TestStand 4.1\Components\Models\TestStandModels. Question is where to store these customized files. There is an assortment of subfolders under Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\NI\TestStand 4.1.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What version of Windows do you have?
The file structure in All Users\Documents\NI\TestStand 4.1 should be similar to that in Program Files\NI\TestStand 4.1. Essentially they are equal. The key is TestStand looks in the All Users Directory first. If it doesn't find it there then it goes into the Program Files one. You can verify this by opening your search directories (Configure>>Search Directories). Look for a item in the list called Public components directory. Look at the path for that. The very next entry should be TestStand components directory. Look at the path for that. They both have Subdirs checked. If you were to switch those around (meaning TestStand components directory before Public components directory) then TestStand would grab the default files and not the ones you modified.
So you should put modelsupport2 in Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\NI\TestStand 4.1\Components\Models\TestStandModels\modelsupport2.*
reportgen*.seq should go in the same folder.
If those folders don't exist then create them. You can probably get away without creating them and just placing it all in the base dir (Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\NI\TestStand 4.1) but I recommend structuring it the same so you don't get confused and it has the same look and feel.
Hope this helps!

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

Ray,
The build number indicates that you have not upgraded to Service Pack 2 of

from the issues which were fixed in the 2 service packs.

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:

Since a Workshop webservice's project is nothing but a webapp, the

You can also use

WEB-INF and properties files

okay, this may be really naive and maybe i'm missing some key piece of
documentation, but i'm missing something regarding the file structure with
iplanet enterprise 4.1 on solaris.
in my /usr/local/netscape/suitespot there's a docs directory that is the
default docs directory.
I've created a /WEB-INF directory under docs and a /classes directory under
that. I've placed a jay.properties file in the /WEB-INF/classes directory,
but when I try to access that through a servlet instantiated bean, I get an
error from the ResourceBundle call, telling me that it can't load that
properties file.
I have two questions:
1. did i build the WEB-INF directory in the correct place (ie - is this the
standard way of working under the iplanet server) - this doesn't seem to be
supported by the admin server in the sense that i can browse this directory,
when i'd expect that iplanet would build in some basic security around the
WEB-INF directory
2. what do i name and where do i put the properties file? should it be
jay_en.properties? i've tried a number of different scenarios with no luck.
thanks...
jay

Why would you create a WEB-INF directory on the web tier?
WEB-INF is a directory with a special meaning to the web container. All
of your properties files and such will need to be placed on the
application server tier, in the WEB-INF directory that was automatically
created there. And you can do that just be properly placing them in the
WAR file.

Setting up .properties file

Hello
I would like to know if theres any particular rules for setting up the .properties file. Like in my application i have four *.properties files
1)log4j.properties 2) mapping.properties and so on
the mapping.properties file have jsps mapping..so basically it says
(key) add.project.param = (value)add_project.jsp
project = project.jsp
I am trying to understand how response.sendRedirect sends the appropriate link to project.jsp (view page) from add_project.jsp
In add_project.jsp, response.sendRedirect is simply written as
response.sendRedirect("tsaa.go?param=view&oid=" + parent + "&type=" + ptype);in my servlet dispatcher class; there are various functions two of them are
1) void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) { }
2) String getForwardPage(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) { }
and i think these classes take care of forwarding the request to appropriate page.
If there are certain rules for setting up the mapping.properties file, do i have to set my new jsp pages in mapping.properties file as:
quality.control.param = quality_control.jsp
quality.control.results = quality_control_results.jsp
(rite now i am using qc.results = quality_control_results.jsp and that doesnt seem to work)
somehow response.sendRedirect("tsaa.go?param=view&oid=" + parent + "&type=" + ptype) doesn't seem to work in my quality_control.jsp page. Without the above line i can atleast move till quality_control.jsp page from home.jsp....but with response.sendRedirect().....i am on home.jsp after a refresh.
if u know any links where i can read abt .properties file please let me know. googling gave me build.properties file but nothing for jsp mappings
Any help is appreciated
Thanx

i got the solution
please ignore the posting
thanx

I18n JSTL / How to connect to new JAR holding new properties file?

Hi there
This is concering i18n and how (on earth;) JSTL knows where to find the according properties files that hold all the textual information.
Okay. I have a piece of software that works fine and has the i18n mechanism running very nicely.
I found the properties files in WEB-INF/lib/i18n.jar in a folder 'resources/bundle/'. They all prefix 'i18n' so JSTL makes use of them like this:
     <fmt:bundle basename="resources/bundles/i18n">
          <fmt:message var="thumbnailText" key="thumbnail.label" />
So, we work on a new project right now based on this software. How can I add new project-related properties files?
What I did:
1) I created a new properties files having new textual information on new labels, etc.
2) Put this in a folder of the new project JAR, which is in WEB-INF/lib now.
3) Referenced the basename of fm:bundle according to this folder (including correct file prefix).
-> Doesn't work.
Is it that by convention all i18n information will be searched for in a JAR that must be named 'i18n.jar'?
I'd greatly appreciate any hints
Cheers
André

First, a sidenote to the SUN team: Before beeing able to reply, the forum denied me access unless I comitted to a screen name. Using my 'AndreKuhn' screen name got me 'Already in use'. Yes, of course. By me! So I had to pick AndreKuhn2 which is a little annoying. There seems to be something wrong with your system.
Okay, back to the issue.
Thanks evnafets for your notions! I have 2 JARs having i18n information. One had already been in use (successfully) by the underlying system. It's the one mentioned above ('i18n.jar'). Now there is a second one. Actually used the same way (technically) with different folders and namings. It goes like this:
<fmt:bundle basename="resources/i18n/bdficp">
          <fmt:message var="titleText" key="publishLink.config.title" />
With additional i18n information in 'WEB-INF/lib/<PROJECT-NAME>.jar'. Precisely in a file 'resources\i18n\bdficp_de.properties' having the line:
publishLink.config.title=Just\ another\ title.
Which should be the one referenced in the snippet above. Still the app gives me: ???publishLink.config.title???
Any clue? I'd greatly praise your name across the rooms here!
Cheers

How can configure .properties file and log4j on weblogic 8.1 SP5

Hi,
I know this is not right forum for post this question.But I hope I'll get my perfect answer here.
I have 2 questions.
1. Where I'll keep my .properties file in weblogic 8.1 SP 5. means I have one own .properties file which is contains some proxy settings and this .properties resides on .war file(now), But I want move this propeties file outside .war file. So Where I'll keep in weblogic 8.1 SP 5.
2. How can we configure log4j in weblogic?
Please reply me.
Regards,
Pattanaik

You can add your.properties and log4j.properties to the classpath cant you?
You just need to edit setEnv.cmd (if i remember correctly) in your weblogic server folder to add the folder containing the properties files to the classpath variable.
