Re: Setting application properties
You could read the global properties from a file or DB when the
application first loads into an object of your choice (A Map for
Key,Value) . Then put this object in session.

Thanx for you reply.
The 'problem' with this solution is that I then have to explicitly access
the file each time I want a property. I was hoping that There was a place
that I could load such parameters then simply access it.
The things I have experimented with (and which have failed) are:
attempt 1
-
place the line:
in struts.xml (just after ).
attempt 2
-
place the line:
gov.brs.mapping.RegionSelector.tmpDirectory=/temp
in struts.properties, which is in "WEB-INF/classes"
In both cases, the class gov.brs.mapping.RegionSelector has static getter
and setters for tmpDirectory, which is a static member. I was hoping that
this would set tmpDirectory (a String) in gov.brs.mapping.RegionSelector.
This does not happen.
The above solutions would not be ideal in any case. What I would really like
to know how to get struts to put key value pairs in the application map
(which I *think* is the appropriate place) or atleast on the stack, when the
application is loaded by tomcat, so I can write something like:
String tempDir = ActionContext.getApplication().get("tempDirectory"); or
String tempDir = ActionContext.getValueStack().get("tempDirectory");
to get at it.
Can I do this... and if so, how?
Cheers again,
Simon.

Re: Setting application properties
You could put a context parameter into your web.xml
tmpDir
/tmp/test
If your action is ServletContextAware (you implement the setter public
void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext)),
then you can access this parameter using
servletContext.getContext(your_application_context_name).getInitParameter("tmpDir")"
hope this helps

Re: Setting application properties
Hi, Add a property file to your classpath, read it from your java code. this is what i got from google :) http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util/Props.html http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2003-08/01-qa-0808-property.html?page=1 Thanks, Nuwan - Original Message - From: "SimonK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 4:42 AM Subject: Setting application properties Hi all, I am new to struts, so please forgive me if this question has an obvious answer. I want to be able to define some global settings for my application, such as: - the path to the applications temporary directory; - the path to a static (input) data directory; - the location/name of a db.
