Xlf files Vs constant class

Hi
There are xlf files which we use for internationalization of application.
All displayed text elements are kept in these xlf files and key values corresponding to text elements are used in jsp.
Now, suppose we do not have need for internationalization, but still we can maintain these xlf files because they give us centralized location to keep all text constants.
But, having said above statement what benefit this approach will give me, if I choose it ahead of maintaining a constant class in java ?
Please comment.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Is there an extra overhead when you are using java classes because every time you make changes in them, they need to be compiled first and then deployed in server.
But in case of xlf files no compilation is done !
There has to be another good reason on when to use java class and when to use xlf file ?

ANT task to process properties-files into static class

Hi,
I think this problem is very interesting. I have a web application that needs various configuration. I'm using a properties file that is loaded into a Properties-class.
The problem arrises when runtime exceptions are thrown (NullPointerException) by using:
String value = props.getProperty("myProp");
(In this case the entry "myProp" is not available.)
The solution would be to process the properties file and put all keys and values into a class with public static attributes:
class Props {
public static String myProp = "123";
This processing should be done with ANT! It shall create a JAVA file before the general compilation task. This would be great and runtime exceptions concerning a lack of propertie-keys are extinguished forever.
Is there any tool for ANT that helps?
Thanks in advance.

Personally, I would not like it - I can't compile even parts of my code without running Ant to build the whole thing? Second, I do not want my build tool to alter or add any source files.
IMO, you should instead simply go and check for null values before using them. I'd regard these NPEs rather as programming flaws - you already pointed out that their value may be null, so not checking is just wrong.
Lastly, maybe you can create a tool yourself - generating a code like this is highly trivial. you only have to keep in mind that development will be a PITA because an IDE with incremental compile will always fail with compilation errors as long as it doesn't create that constants class Ant's supposed to create.
Oh, and why not ask Ant-related questions in an Ant forum?

File with constants declared?

How do I create a file with some constants declared? Do I have to make a class out of them? Then, how do I import the file into other classes?

Here's what I have:
interface ConvertTypes
     public static final int IDC = 1,MDS = 2, IDC_AND_MDS = 3;
class ctest implements ConvertTypes
     public static void main(String[] args)
          System.out.println(IDC);
Here's the error I get after I compile ConvertTypes and ctest:
Z:\ctest.java:1: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class ConvertTypes
location: class ctest
class ctest implements ConvertTypes
^
Z:\\ctest.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable IDC
location: class ctest
          System.out.println(IDC);

Read out properties generated by XLF files

Dear community,
I have a problem reading out property files generated by Web Dynpros XLS (S2X-Editor). What I have to do is generate a printer-friendly version of my Web Dynpro views to enable users to get a printable report.
Now my problem is reading out the property-files generated by Web Dynpro with a java utility class.
I think my attempt fails, because those property files for each view follow a naming convertion, which is like this:
com.mypackage.mysubpackage.MyViewName.wdview_<Locale>.properties
so when I try to access those property files with a call like
Locale sessionLocale = WDResourceHandler.getCurrentSessionLocale();
ResourceBundle resourceHandler = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.mypackage.mysubpackage.MyViewName.wdview",sessionLocale);
I guess the resourceHandler thinks "wdview" is the name of my resource and tries to resolve this name to a propery file such as wdview_de.properties.
Am I missing something? Did anyone experience a similar behaviour or knows a working work-around?
My SAP-solution would be to duplicate code (...) which is no fun and a real pain when application texts are changed on later development stages...
Thanks for your support!
regards,
Christian

Hi,
found the solution myself, so here is my insight:
The view-specific property-files generated by the XLF-files can not be accessed by Java as the ResourceBundle.getBundle(...) method replaces all dots in the name of the Resource file according to this:
It generates a path name from the candidate bundle name by replacing all "." characters with "/" and appending the string ".properties".
(see SUN Java API docs [ResourceBundle|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/ResourceBundle.html])
Thing is the generated property-files of the views get merged into property files for the component. So if your component sports 12 views with one xlf- and property-file each, there is gonna be one big property-file for the whole component, that resides in your wdp folder.
Accessing this file is pretty straight-forward, the naming is like "Resource" + <Name of Component> +".properties".
Maybe someone else struggles with WDJ and needs this.
regards,
Christian

How to load a Jar file in the class path?

How to load a Jar file which contains class files, images, etc.. in the classpath without using URLClassLoader.

You don't "load" jars. If it's on the classpath, you can obtain individual resources from it using various methods on either Class or ClassLoader. Do you mean "how to add a jar to the classpath at runtime"? Can't be done without using a classloader, typically URLClassLoader or a subclass thereof. Why you want to not use the proven method is beyond me. Presumably because you don't understand classloading. In which case, forget it.

Error in opening a xlf file

Hi,
I am having a problem opening xlf documents.
The error message I get is "Invalid version found 1.1.0.2. Xcelsius expects version 1.1.0.1.".
I am using Xcelsius XL Standard / File version 1.1.0.1 / Application version 4.0.4.7.
Those xlf documents were created by some colleagues of mine who are using professional version. Is there any limitation on that?
How can I open these files?
Thank you.

Hi David,
Xcelsius expects version 1.1.0.1, while Crystal Xcelsius expects version 1.1.0.2.
It looks like you are using Xcelsius version 4.0 to open xlf files that your colleagues made using Crystal Xcelsius version 4.5. As such, what you are seeing expected.
My only suggestion would be to upgrade to version 4.5 so that you can view the models your colleagues are producing.

Error while using .jar file instead of class file.

Hello friends,
I created a java class which are referred and called from other jsp\xml and java files. I compiled this java class and everything is working properly. However, I do not want to use class files but want to use jar files instead. So, I created a jar file of this class file by using the command "jar -cvf jarfilename.jar".I kept the jar file in its respective folder .Also, I removed the class file from its path, just to see that the jar file will work automatically.
Unfortunately, I am getting an error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Component.createComponent(...) Component class not found: <java class path>. I also tried giving the path of this jar file in the classpath. This also does not seem working.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Ranjith M.V
Edited by: RanjithM.V on May 11, 2008 10:34 PM

You probably populated the jar file incorrectly.
A common mistake is to include the path that you had on the classpath, in the jar file.
So a person will have a classpath like this: /foo/
And a class in a package bar, like this:
package bar;So that other classes would include the file like this:
import bar.TheClass;And the class file is on the filesystem like this:
.../foo/bar/TheClass.classThen they'll create the jar file including the foo directory, so if they list the jar's contents, they'll see the above (/foo/bar/TheClass.class). But this is wrong. It should start off so that the jar entries start with the top-level package names (like /bar/TheClass.class).
Maybe you've done that.

Help needed in URM German translation override with XLF file translation

I have a problem in URM 11.1.1.3 German translation override through a custom component.
I have a OOTB German context localization ww_strings.xlf file present in <oracle middleware home>/ucm/idc/components/Localization/lang/de in URM with a translation entry as
<trans-unit id="wwWarehouse@002frm">
<source>Warehouse</source>
<target>Warehouse</target>
</trans-unit>
The Warehouse storage type name is referring to the key 'wwWarehouse' and so i see 'Warehouse' as name in the storage pages.
when i am overriding this entry key using a custom component with the following entry it does not work and the original translation is shown in the page.
<@de.wwWarehouse=Archiv@>
I have checked that the loadOrder is not the issue here and issue is the presence of @002frm keyword.The entry <@de.wwWarehouse@002frm=Archiv@> also does not work
Any Idea how can i override the translation key.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Are you trying to translate a BI report, or the string in the web interface?
I have to ask first:
- Have you enabled the German locale for Content Server?
- In your user profile, have you selected German?
Assuming both answers are yes...
I wouldn't worry about the XLF/XLIFF file if you are changing the caption in a report - provided the caption can even be translated in the report. URM does some black-magic translation for "certain" select strings in reports. Not sure "Warehouse" is one of them, though.
I'd avoid trying the <@lang_code.string@> route -- sometimes it works, sometimes not. In your custom component, create a folder structure like "resources/lang/de/ww_strings.htm", and put <@wwWarehouse=Archiv@> in that file.

any help is greatly appreciated.

The following script class will write a log file entry. See if it will run for you.
The script is using a class object that you might not have seen before. A little intro: The top section is just for testing the class. Normally I just comment this out after the class is working well. It should run right way. I would save the vbs file in the editor, That way when you are using autoactpath or currentscriptpath variables they will be able resolve the paths.

Why java file name and class name are equal

could u explain why java file name and class name are equal in java

The relevant section of the JLS (?7.6):
When packages are stored in a file system (?7.2.1), the host system may choose to enforce the restriction that it is a compile-time error if a type is not found in a file under a name composed of the type name plus an extension (such as .java or .jav) if either of the following is true:
* The type is referred to by code in other compilation units of the package in which the type is declared.
* The type is declared public (and therefore is potentially accessible from code in other packages).
This restriction implies that there must be at most one such type per compilation unit. This restriction makes it easy for a compiler for the Java programming language or an implementation of the Java virtual machine to find a named class within a package; for example, the source code for a public type wet.sprocket.Toad would be found in a file Toad.java in the directory wet/sprocket, and the corresponding object code would be found in the file Toad.class in the same directory.
When packages are stored in a database (?7.2.2), the host system must not impose such restrictions. In practice, many programmers choose to put each class or interface type in its own compilation unit, whether or not it is public or is referred to by code in other compilation units.

How to change translation text in XLF file without re deploying?

Hi All,
I want to change the translation text of WebDynpro application without using NWDS. The application is already deployed in Production. Is there any way to change the translation text directly from the server (without changing the message in XLF file through NWDS) and re deploying the applicaion?
Thanks,
Shilpa.
