I've looked in the FAQ, the Wiki, and through the mailing list and unless I've missed
something
obvious there doesn't appear to be a generally accepted way to do this.
My code can run as a stand-alone client or a SOAP service or an Axis service. I load a
class
name when it starts to determine which of those it should run as.
I'm currently using System.getProperty(). That works if I provide the class name on
the
command line to start the client or on Tomcat's command line.
What I'm going to more toward is trying to use System.getProperty() and if that
doesn't work
try to read a properties file, something like:
new Properties( getClass().getResourceAsStream( "myfile" ) ) I haven't tried that yet,
but I'd
imagine it would work and be fairly non-Axis-specific.
I've included below snippets I took from past email messages. Search for these to put
them in
context:
----------------------
org.apache.axis.MessageContext axisContext =
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
javax.servlet.ServletContext sc =
((javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet)axisContext.getProperty
(org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET)).getServletContex
t();
String path = sc.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/service.properties");
// now get the properties for the server and EJB location
information
java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
try {
props.load(new java.io.FileInputStream(path));
}
catch(java.io.FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
sc.log("service.properties file not found. Will use
defaults." + fnfe.getMessage());
System.out.println("service.properties file not found.
Will use defaults");
}
catch(java.io.IOException ioe) {
sc.log("service.properties file not loaded. Will use
defaults." + ioe.getMessage());
System.out.println("service.properties file not loaded.
Will use defaults");
}
String server = props.getProperty("EJBServer", "127.0.0.1");
String port= props.getProperty("EJBServerPort", "7001");
String ejb= props.getProperty("EJBJNDIName", "SoapBean");
----------------------
// Get path to WEB-INF
org.apache.axis.MessageContext msgContext =
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
String strWebInf =
msgContext.getProperty(org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_
SERVLETLOCATION).toString();
// Use path to WEB-INF to read text file into properties
Properties propsConfig = new Properties();
propsConfig.load(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new
File(strWebInf + "/Config.txt"))));
// Use path to WEB-INF to read text file into string
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new
File(strWebInf + "/Stuff.txt")));
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int nData = bis.read();
while (nData != -1)
{
baos.write(nData);
nData = bis.read();
}
bis.close();
baos.flush();
baos.close();
String strStuff = baos.toString();
----------------------
HttpServlet srv = (HttpServlet)
MessageContext.getCurrentContext().getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET);
To get properties from the web.xml file. But, I cannot find anywhere that
speficies what the XML for a property should look like in the web.xml
file, or where that xml should go in web.xml. I have tried guessing, and
I haven't guessed it correct yet. Can someone provide an example of what
the web.xml needs to look like to contain a property I can retrieve using
the MessageContext.getCurrentContext().getProperty() method?
Also, I would prefer storing the properties in the server-config.wsdd in
the service section for my web service.
----------------------
org.apache.axis.MessageContext msgContext =
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
String paramValue = (String)
msgContext.getProperty("Name");
System.err.println("paramValue="+paramValue);
Method #2
org.apache.axis.handlers.soap.SOAPService service =
msgContext.getService();
paramValue = (String) service.getOption("Name");
System.err.println("paramValue="+paramValue);
