Re: property files or similar
Hi,
You can continue to use properties file, and here's an alternative to
hardcoding the file system path in your app.
First create a jar within which your properties file exists. For example, if
your property file is called props.ini you could put it with the path
"com/foo/props.ini" within some jar, say "comfoo.jar".
Place comfoo.jar in {ORIONHOME}/lib folder. You can bypass problems with
classpath settings by placing your jar file here.
Then, in your application where you use the properties file, get the
classloader and you can get the properties file as a resource. The following
code might be useful.
/* - */
Properties props = new Properties();
ClassLoader clsLdr = .getClass().getClassLoader();
InputStream instr = clsLdr.getResourceAsStream("com/foo/props.ini");
props.load(instr);
/* - */

RE: property files or similar
You can set the env properties for the application in the deployment descripter xml file. This allows you to pass parameters to the application...for example, your properties path. OR more recklessly, you could pass the information you are pulling out of your properties in your env, and bury the properties thingy once and for all. regards, the elephantwalker -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Holden Glova Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2001 5:42 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: property files or similar Hello, Aside from hardcoding a path to the properties file we are using, is there anywhere you specify these types of resources to orion instead of hardcoded in a class?

Hello, Aside from hardcoding a path to the properties file we are using, is there anywhere you specify these types of resources to orion instead of hardcoded in a class? What would be the alternative to using something like a property file, given that a property file is *very* easy to use?
