[opencms-dev] .properties file

[Kai Widmann]

Hi,

sure that’s possible. Since classes are usually exported to WEB-INF/classes/…  you could either get the properties file from the real file system or you could use the class loader to access the properties file.
Here’s an example for using the class loader:

public class ContentTypeConfiguration {

  private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(ContentTypeConfiguration.class);
  private static final String PROPSPATH = "com/mediaworx/b4f/opencms/contenttypes/ContentTypeConfig.properties";

  private static final Properties prop;

  static {
    prop = new Properties();
    try {
      prop.load(ContentTypeConfiguration.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(PROPSPATH));
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
      LOG.error(PROPSPATH + " could not be loaded.");
    }
  }

  [...]
}


I’m sure there are other ways (e.g. ResourceBundle), but this has worked for me so far.

Cheers

Kai

Betreff: [opencms-dev] .properties file

Hi,

Is it possible to read a .properties file from within a module.
So, for instance, if I have a module com.myexample.mymodule with an action class MyAction.class and a mymodule.properties file, is it possible to read the .properties file from the action class?

accessing the file by name only (they are on the same path) does not work and accessing by '/system/modules/com.myexample.mymodule/classes/com/myexample/mymodule/mymodule.properties' does not work also.

thanks.
