1. Re: Location to definer application specific properties
adellechiaie Sep 13, 2005 1:46 PM (in response to javadeveloper30)You can use the System Properties Service. It's very easy and useful.
You'll find the file in your server\deploy directory called: properties-service.xml
In the attribute URLList you can specify a list of files/URLs where you can put your application-level properties.
If you need to change the application-level properties, you have only to change it in the file/URL specified in the properties-service.xml and touch it, and JBoss will stop and restart the System Properties Service with the new properties.

2. Re: Location to definer application specific properties
javadeveloper30 Sep 13, 2005 3:42 PM (in response to javadeveloper30)great it works. thanks for the help.
Another question, I' have several server instances and I am refering to the server name in my system property value. Is there any way I can dynamically pick up the server instance name and use it in the system property value ? This way I will not have to change the server name in property value for each server instance .
eg ABCProp=/usr/jboss-4.0.2/server/server_name/abc
Can server_name be dynamically picked up ? -

adellechiaie Sep 13, 2005 4:34 PM (in response to javadeveloper30)Sure, look at the http://localhost:8080/web-console
and click on "System" in the java applet and you'll find all the JBoss System Properties.
The system property "jboss.server.name" contains the name of the configuration that is running.

OK, I understand but I really don't know this... you could try
abcprop = /usr/jboss-4.0.2/server/${jboss.server.name}/abc
or, if it doesn't work, do something like this:
define the property
abcprop = abc
and then
String jBossDir = System.getProperty("jboss.server.dir");
String jBossServerName = System.getProperty("jboss.server.name");
String myProperty = System.getProperty("abcprop");
String total = jBossDir;
total += System.getProperty("file.separator");
total += jBossServerName;
total += System.getProperty("file.separator");
total += myProperty;
And you'll have:
/usr/jboss-4.0.2/server/MY_SERVER_NAME/abc

6. Re: Location to definer application specific properties
javadeveloper30 Sep 13, 2005 5:55 PM (in response to javadeveloper30)the first option does not work. For now I'll just hardcode the server instance name and include it as a point in the deployment instructions.
thanks for all the help.
