Re: properties file again

Thanks James, I was hoping that we do not have to change code for this.
My project is to move our J2EE application from jBOSS to WAS6.1.

Below are relevent code that does the setFile:

public static File findFile( String fileName ) {
File file = null;
URL url = FileUtil.class.getClassLoader().getResource( fileName
);
if( url != null ) {
String decodedUrl = null;
try {
decodedUrl = URLDecoder.decode( url.getPath(), "ASCII"
);
} catch( UnsupportedEncodingException uee ) {
uee.printStackTrace();
}
file = new File( decodedUrl );
}
return file;
}


I'll look to see what the different between FileInputStream in
InputStream.

Thanks

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. We put our properties file in the EJB module jar file. This

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();
}
}
