jar path on unix
Hi
I was giving propertie file path in java class like this
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH ="\\\\machinename.com +
"\\workspace\\Agr\\JavaSource";
Now issue is this I deployed this as jar file on linux like b.jar.
Now it is complaining that Unable to locate resource application.properties obviously becuase of window path.
now what path i should give for unix
my jar is in home/ras/jar/b.jar/application.properties
regards
Paths containing (single) forward slashes are reasonably portable between filesystems. However, the specifics of how to refer across the nework to a resource is platform specific.
jar is is installed on unix only
Hi
i repeat
build has develped on windows so i gave application property path as
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH ="\\\\machinename.com +
"\\workspace\\Agr\\JavaSource";
now same build is going to deploy on unix in JAR FORMAT.
i deployed this jar file as b.jar
Now it is complaining that Unable to locate resource application.properties obviously becuase of window path.so i need to change that above path to unix path
so i tried
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH ="\\\\scx.x-.dhl.com\\home\\wasadmin\\jar\b.jar";
but still getting same error unable to locate application properties
may be becuase file is inside jar format?
regards
And as I pointed out, the machine part of that path is going to be platform dependent. Within the filesystem you can use forward slashes. If the machine in question is mounted on the local filesystem you'll be able to simply include the path to that.
Without appropriate configuration, it will not be possible to access a remote machine using a filesystem path. The specifics of that configuration are up to you, so I cannot determine them in advance.
If you are not accessing a remote machine, simply omit the machine name from the path.
ok i try by removing machie namemy worry is that the application.properties inside the jar deployed on machine so whethere it will take file inside jar or not
Properties files are normally read from the locations defined in the classpath.
mine is taking from java file so i have to do like that only
i changed to this
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH ="\\home\\wasadmin\\jar"
where jar folder contains application.properties but error is same
one more doubt have on unix it is / but I am using \
> mine is taking from java file so i have to do like
> that only
Is this your application? If so, why have you hard coded the path to your property file? That's incredibly poor practice for precisely this sort of reason. Fix it to load it from either the classpath or the working directory. Or specify it as a command line parameter.
> one more doubt have on unix it is / but I am using \
This: / is a forward slash. This: \ is a back slash. Java will always accept forward slashes. You don't need to double forward slashes up as / is not an escape character.
no not mine I am just deploying on unix.
due to application requirement claspath can not be used
this is in constants.java
public static final String FILE_SEPARATOR = System.getProperty("file.separator");
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE = "application.properties";
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH ="\\home\\wasadmin\\jar";
and this loading that properties file
applicationProperties = PropertiesReader.loadProperties(
Constants.APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE,
Constants.APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH);
any idea I need it urgently

Hardcoding a path is stupid. If your requirements say you can't take either of the other options I suggested then your requirements are dumb and should be changed.
I'm curious as to what you're doing as it's not anything compatible with the way I'd normally use WAS. I strongly suspect that you're doing something wrong.
Please elaborate on what you're trying to achieve at a higher level than path issues.
> any idea I need it urgentlyTough. I'm off to bed.
anyhow that has been done by other guy but while installing on linux I am getting error
folowing are the three files constants.java
1)public class Constants
{
public static final String FILE_SEPARATOR = System.getProperty("file.separator");
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE = "application.properties";
public static final String APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH ="path for unix need to berefor widows they have mentioned \\\\machine name\\folder";
properties file is present in /home/wasadmin/jaron linux machine
2)propertiesreader.java
public abstract class PropertiesReader
{
protected PropertiesReader()
{
super();
}
public static Properties loadProperties(String propertiesFile, String propertiesFilePath)
throws IOException
{
if(propertiesFile == null || propertiesFile == "")
throw new IOException("Properties file name is empty or null");
if(propertiesFilePath == null || propertiesFilePath == "")
//throw new IOException("Properties file path is empty or null");
throw new IllegalArgumentException(propertiesFilePath);
Properties properties = new Properties();
InputStream in = null;
System.out.println("hi");
String fileSeparator = System.getProperty("file.separator");
try
{System.out.println("hi");
in = new FileInputStream(
new File(propertiesFilePath+fileSeparator+propertiesFile));
System.out.println("bhi");
properties.load(in);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
throw new IOException("Unable to locate resource "+ propertiesFile);
}
finally
{
if(in != null)
{
in.close();
}
}
return properties;
}
}
3)in this code file is loaded
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Properties applicationProperties = null;
PropertiesUtil propertiesUtil = null;
Properties queryProperties = null;
PropertiesUtil queriesUtil = null;
try
{
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AuditDataHandler.class);
//System.out.println(Constants.APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH);
applicationProperties = PropertiesReader.loadProperties(
Constants.APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE,
Constants.APPLICATION_PROPERTY_FILE_PATH);
after loading in third file there is one more linepropertiesUtil = new PropertiesUtil(applicationProperties);
