yep, that will work because due to my inexperience im having a lot trouble working with files ...
ill go try web.xml -----Mensagem original----- De: Simone Chiaretta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviada: ter�a-feira, 25 de Fevereiro de 2003 14:36 Para: Tomcat Users List Assunto: R: properties files I store properties in my the app WEB-INF/web.xml <context-param> <param-name>smtpServer</param-name> <param-value>my.smtpserver.net</param-value> <description>SMTP server to be used to send email from forms in the website</description> </context-param> and I access the value also in JSP pages with String value = getServletContext().getInitParameter("smtpServer"); and I assure u that it works even with JSP not only with servlet, but I never tryed accessing it from inside a bean. The only problem is that when you change the value you have to reload the application.. hope that helps Simo > -----Messaggio originale----- > Da: Jos� Moreira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Inviato: marted� 25 febbraio 2003 15.25 > A: Tomcat Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Oggetto: RE: properties files > > > thank you for the attention, im developing a bean to > interact with the > properties file. > > I believe that ServletContext is only available to servlets, > > but perhaps the filename can be a parameter in the constructor :D > > the reason why im using a properties file is to make the > configuration > transparent and easy, to my clients... > > so i they change the mysql db parameters they can easily edit the > properties > file without much knowledge. > > also another advantage i saw in that was the ability to load and save > directly to a file. > > if there is a better way im all ears :) > > > -----Mensagem original----- > De: Arnaud HERITIER [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Enviada: ter�a-feira, 25 de Fevereiro de 2003 12:51 > Para: 'Tomcat Users List' > Assunto: RE: properties files > > > You need to put your property files in WEB-INF/classes or in a jar in > WEB-INF/lib > > Then you can use the getResourceAsStream(..) method of the > ServletContext of > your webapp : > > > properties.load(getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(filePath)) > > Arnaud > > > > -----Message d'origine----- > > De : Jos� Moreira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Envoy� : mardi 25 f�vrier 2003 13:36 > > � : Tomcat Users List > > Objet : properties files > > > > > > Hello, im using a propeties file to store and retrieve > > application settings > > (like db conection) using this code : > > > > private Properties properties; > > > > private String status; > > > > private boolean NovoConfig; > > > > /** Creates new ConfigReaderBean */ > > public ConfigReaderBean() { > > > > Properties properties = new Properties(); > > > > NovoConfig = false; > > > > try { > > > > properties.load(new FileInputStream("config.properties")); > > > > } catch (IOException e) { > > > > > > System.out.println("Erro ao ler config: "+e.getMessage()); > > > > > > > > properties.setProperty("database.url","http://localhost/mysql";); > > > > NovoConfig = true; > > > > } > > > > if (NovoConfig) { > > > > try { > > > > properties.store(new > > FileOutputStream("newconfig.properties"),null); > > > > System.out.println("Criado: newconfig.properties"); > > > > } catch (IOException e) { > > > > System.out.println("Erro ao criar novo config: > > "+e.getMessage()); > > > > } > > > > > > } > > > > the problem is that it doesnt load the file and saves the > > 'newconfig.properties' file under the Netbeans IDE dir, > > > > how can i load the file located under my webapp WEB-INF dir ? > > > > > > > > > > > > ---------------<*>---------------------- > > Jos� Moreira > > > > T�cnico de Inform�tica | IT Technician > > > > Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal > > > > E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > ICQ: 136936120 > > > > IRC: ethernal (irc.ptnet.org) > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
