T5 - Access configured application default value from component

[Peter Beshai]

In my application, people can upload files. What is the best way to
configure the root of the location the files go to?

I thought I'd contribute to ApplicationDefaults like so:

public static void contributeApplicationDefaults(
           MappedConfiguration<String, String> configuration)
   {
       configuration.add("tutor.file-system-root", "/Users/pbeshai/tmproot/");
       configuration.add("tapestry.supported-locales", "en");
       configuration.add("tapestry.start-page-name", "Login");
   }


And hopefully be able to inject that value into components where
necessary. Is there a more advised way of doing this?

Unfortunately, I am unable to retrieve this value in my component
(from simple lack of know-how).

I thought it might be similar to
@Inject
@Value("${tutor.file-system-root}")
private String _fileSystemRoot;

public String getFileSystemRoot() { return _fileSystemRoot; }

But I've had no such luck.

Does anyone know the correct way to do this?

Thanks,
