Re: properties file again

The helpful code would code from the getFile() method.

Also, you should change the type of the propertiesFileIS to InputStream,
rather than FileInputStream.

Changed FileInputStream to InputStream:
private synchronized void loadProperties() {
if( fileExists() ) {
InputStream propertiesFileIS = null;
try {
propertiesFileIS = new FileInputStream( getFile() );
properties.load( propertiesFileIS );
} catch( IOException ioe ) {
Log.category.info <http://log.category.info/>( ioe.getMessage(),
ioe );
} finally {
FileUtil.silentClose( propertiesFileIS );
}
} else {
properties = System.getProperties();
}
}


Here is a little code snippet that should work in a JAR or for a file that's
in your classpath.
protected void loadProperties() {
InputStream in = null;
try {
in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(
"/config/props.properties");
props.load(in);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Could not load the props file.");
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
}

Our EJB application uses the FileInputStream class to load the
properties file and it seems to be having problem finding our properties
file. We put our properties file in the EJB module jar file. This EJB
is deployed into the websphere express server. Does any one know where
should I put this properties file for our EJB app to see it?

thanks


Here is the code it load the properties file:

private synchronized void loadProperties() {
if( fileExists() ) {
FileInputStream propertiesFileIS = null;
try {
propertiesFileIS = new FileInputStream( getFile() );
properties.load( propertiesFileIS );
} catch( IOException ioe ) {
Log.category.info( ioe.getMessage(), ioe );
} finally {
FileUtil.silentClose( propertiesFileIS );
}
} else {
properties = System.getProperties();
}
}
