Hello,
I am trying to load several configuration parameters (e.g. directory
locations and log filename/location) that are needed by my service.
If I hard-code the values in my service implementation
(EfileServiceImpl.java) my function behaves as I would expect. All
other attempts to move configuration parameters to a file have failed
with varying results (class not found, null pointer exception, etc.).
Here is an abbreviated version of my current implementation:
--------------------------------------------------------
package gov.ok.tax.efile;
// import statements removed
public class EFileServiceImpl implements EFileService
{
// TODO These variables need to be dynamically loaded from a
// configuration/properties file instead of hard-coded.
private static File baseDirectory = new File("c:/dev/EfileService");
private static File logConfigurationFilename = new File(baseDirectory,
"config/efile_service_log4j.xml");
// Additional initialization removed
public SendResponseReceipt send(SendTransmission transmission)
throws java.rmi.RemoteException
{
authenticate();
// SendUtils class not supplied
return SendUtils.send(transmission, xmlSendDirectory);
}
// Other WSDL functions/operations removed
// authenticate function removed
}
--------------------------------------------------------
I need to be able to load these configuration parameters either when
Tomcat/Axis is started or when the service is called by the client.
I am not particularly biased towards either method.
The parameters need to be configurable on a service level as opposed
to a global Axis level. On the other hand, if a global level is
required to make my service work, I'll use it.
What is the recommended way to dynamically load configuration
information for a service?
adTHANKSvance,
Kenneth Love
