Keeping Constants Outside The Java/JSP Source File

[Ryan Norman <ra...@mminternet.com>]

Hi,

I am Ryan Norman.

I am running Win 2K advanced server, tomcat 4.0, struts, oracle.

I have a bunch of constants that I would like to keep outside the Java/JSP source file. 
Because when I am done, I would like to upload my files to my client place where there is nobody to change and recompile it.
Is there a way to keep the constants in the XML file or in a .ini file (like how we do in windoze development) when I use tomcat and struts. 

Thanks in advance

Ryan Norman

That will work, or you can do this as well:

On your web.xml fle declare:

    <!-- Environment variable -->
    <env-entry>
        <description>My variable description</description>
        <env-entry-name>myVariable</env-entry-name>
        <env-entry-value>/usr/local/bin/stuff<env-entry-value>
        <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
    </env-entry>

and from any of your servlet/action classes you can do the following to 
retrieve the variables:

Context context = new InitialContext();
stuff = (String) context.lookup("java:comp/env/myVariable");

I believe you can put them inside a property file as part of your WAR.
Is that what you mean?
