Read Properties File

[karboe]

Hi all,
I need to get some value from my properties file in my seam project
and I put my properties file in the root path project
In myproperties file, I write a property name  that I named myname with maurice as value.
I has a reader properties file class as this following code:

public class ReadPropertiesFile {                             
                private Properties readPropertiesFile(String fileName) {
                        Properties properties = new Properties();
                        try {
                                properties.load(new FileInputStream(fileName+".properties"));                          
                        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {                    
                                e.printStackTrace();                           
                        } catch (IOException e) {                      
                                e.printStackTrace();                           
                        }
                        return properties;
                }
               
                public String readPropertyValue(String propertyName) {                 
                        String propertyValue = null;
                        Properties properties = new Properties();
                        properties = readPropertiesFile("myproperties");
                        propertyValue = properties.getProperty(propertyName);
                        return propertyValue;
                }
}




and then I try to get the myname property value with this following code

ReadPropertiesFile readFile = new ReadPropertiesFile();
String vProp = readFile.readPropertyValue("myname");

It's always generate an error, where is the problem? 


thanks in advance,
Maurice.

use this, it works:

import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.PropertyResourceBundle;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class CoxProperties {
     private static Properties ijwatProps = null;

     public static Properties getPropertyObject(String configFileName) {
          if (ijwatProps == null) {
               ijwatProps = new Properties();
               Enumeration<String> enumKeys;
               ResourceBundle bundle = PropertyResourceBundle
                         .getBundle(configFileName);
               enumKeys = bundle.getKeys();
               while (enumKeys.hasMoreElements()) {
                    String key = (String) enumKeys.nextElement();
                    ijwatProps.setProperty(key, (String) bundle.getString(key));
               }
          }

          return ijwatProps;
     }

     public static Properties getPropertyObject() {
          return getPropertyObject(CoxConstants.CONFIG_FILENAME);
     }

     public static String getProperty(String key) {
          if (key == null)
               return null;

          return ijwatProps.getProperty(key);
     }

}

Or much easier, you can define your properties in components*.properties.

myproperty=someValue

Then in your components.xml you can define then in the seam component you are using them.

<component name="mySeamcomponent">
          <property name="myproperty">@myproperty@</property>
     </component>

Then in your mySeamcomponent class

// injected from components.xml
private String myproperty;

public getMyproperty();
public setMypropert(String ...);

define your properties in components*.properties, if you use them in your page you can use like this " value="#{messages['key']}" "

Hi

Can you let me know which method you are exposing to the bean, Mr. Arbi Sookazian.  That is if I have to instantiate CoxProperties and call the method on it, which method would I be calling.

thanks

This is just plain wrong. You cannot use Messages to read the component.properties file. It will read the messages.properties file.
