I'm writing a Seam adapter for ja-sig's CAS client (http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/). The client by default is configured by Spring, but I'm trying to configure it with Seam. One thing it does is use a properties file, and a PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer. To mimic that, I'm doing this:
@Name("casProperties")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Install(precedence = Install.FRAMEWORK)
public class CasProperties {
Properties casProperties;
String fileName = "cas-client.properties";
@Create
public void create() throws Exception {
casProperties = new Properties();
casProperties.load(Resources.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/" + fileName, ServletLifecycle.getServletContext()));
}
@Unwrap
public Properties getCasProperties() {
return casProperties;
}
public String getFileName() {
return fileName;
}
public void setFileName(String fileName) {
this.fileName = fileName;
}
}
and in a components.xml file this:
<factory name="serverUrl" value="#{casProperties['cas.server.url']}" scope="STATELESS" auto-create="true"/>
<factory name="clientServerName" value="#{casProperties['cas.client.serverName']}" scope="STATELESS" auto-create="true"/>
<factory name="clientProxyCallbackUrl" value="#{casProperties['cas.client.proxyCallbackUrl']}" scope="STATELESS" auto-create="true"/>
Is there an easier way to make the contents of a specific properties file (i.e., not using components.properties or seam.properties) available to components.xml, etc?
Thanks
