You can also use a conventional properties file to hold application properties consisting of key/value pairs. Here's an example:

I have a property file called sysAdmin.properties. This should be located anywhere on the server's classpath, in my case in UfsServer/tomcat/webapps/ufs/WEB-INF/classes. The file content looks like this:

# sysAdmin.roles: comma delimited list of roles which allow access to the system administration app
sysAdmin.roles=SUPER_USER
# sysAdmin.users: comma delimited list of users which allow access to the system administration app
sysAdmin.users=user1,user2

Here's a script to read the sysAdmin.roles property:

Code: Select all

var propertyFileName = "sysAdmin";
var propertyName = "sysAdmin.roles";
var propertyValue = getStringProperty(propertyFileName, propertyName);
	
/**
 * Read a string property from a properties file
 */ 
function getStringProperty(propertyFileName, propertyName)
{
	var props = java.util.PropertyResourceBundle.getBundle(propertyFileName);
	if (props)
	{
		return props.getString(propertyName);
	}
	return null;
}
