Re: properties file

[Liebig, Stefan]

I bet that there is probably a simpler solution, but how about writing you own ObjectPrivider? It is really not that much code.

 

The ObjectProvider:

 

public class ConfigObjectProvider implements ObjectProvider {

 /**
  */
 public ConfigObjectProvider() {
  super();
 }

 /**
  * @see org.apache.hivemind.service.ObjectProvider#
  *      provideObject(org.apache.hivemind.internal.Module, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String, org.apache.hivemind.Location)
  */
 public Object provideObject( Module contributingModule, Class propertyType, String locator, Location location ) {

  File configFile = new File( locator );
  Properties properties = new Properties();
  try {
   properties.load( new FileInputStream( configFile ) );
   return properties;
  } catch ( FileNotFoundException fnfe ) {
   throw new ApplicationRuntimeException( "Could not locate file: " + locator, fnfe );
  } catch ( IOException ioe ) {
   throw new ApplicationRuntimeException( "Could not load config file: " + locator, ioe );
  }
 }

}

 

The hivemind fragment to define it:

 

 <contribution configuration-id="hivemind.ObjectProviders">
  <provider prefix="config" service-id="ConfigObjectProvider"/>
 </contribution>

 <service-point id="ConfigObjectProvider" interface="org.apache.hivemind.service.ObjectProvider">
  <create-instance class="yourpackage.objectprovider.ConfigObjectProvider"/>
 </service-point>

 
Usage example:

 

 <service-point id="ConfigObjectProviderTest" interface="java.util.Map">
  This "service" now contains the config properties from c:\temp\test.properties!
 
  <invoke-factory>
   <construct class="java.util.HashMap">
    <object>config:c:\temp\test.properties</object>
   </construct>
  </invoke-factory>
 </service-point>

 

With the ObjectProvider you can inject the properties everywhere where you need a
config file as a map.

Hope that helps a little bit.

Betreff: properties file

Hi,

I am looking hivemind a few days ago (I think my project solution so far) and in a little example I tried to load in a Map some "key/values" based in the example of your hivemind documentation (successful test)... here the example:

<configuration-point id="Simple">
      <schema>
        <element name="test" key-attribute="key">
          <attribute name="key"/>
          <attribute name="value" required="true"/>
          <rules>
              <push-attribute attribute="value"/>
              <invoke-parent method="addElement"/>
          </rules>
        </element>
      </schema>
  </configuration-point>

  <contribution configuration-id="Simple">
      <test key="Message" value="com.digicomm.messages.Message"/>
      <test key="BytesMessage" value="com.digicomm.messages.BytesMessage"/>
      <test key="ObjectMessage" value="com.digicomm.messages.ObjectMessage"/> 
      <test key="StreamMessage" value="com.digicomm.messages.StreamMessage"/>
      <test key="TextMessage" value="com.digicomm.messages.TextMessage"/>
      <test key="MapMessage" value="com.digicomm.messages.MapMessage"/>
      <test key="xstreamalias.properties" value="nono"/>     
  </contribution>

As I say It is OK, but my question is what is the way (in hivemind) to avoid write the data (the key/values) in the .xml file? can does HiveMind read a properties file and convert it in a properties object? what is the way to do that?.

If you don't understand my question,  please let me know.
