Accessing .properties property - codenameone

I'm new to CodenameOne, great platform.
I see a file called "codenameone_settings.properties" I added a new property called "myapi", "http://localhost:3000"
How would I access this property? I tried
Preferences.set("myapi", "nono")
When I do:
System.out.println(Preferences.set("myapi", "nono"));
I get "nono"

The "codenameone_settings.properties" is a project configuration file which is not accessible to the app.
If you need/want a properties file to be used in your app add your own properties file to the project src/ folder and load it from code.
For example:
//place the App_settings.properties under the src/ dir
Properties conf = new Properties();
conf.load(Display.getInstance().getResourceAsStream(getClass(), "/App_settings.properties"));

Use database property from external property file in grails 3

I want to use external property file for database configuration in production environment. i have tried some of solution from blogs and stack overflow but its work only for development environment.
grailsVersion=3.3.2
First create properties file in src/main/resources (if resources dir does not exist, create it).
then remove configuration from application.yml (if won't then it will override).
in Application.groovy load the file with this :
def url = getClass().classLoader.getResource("myconfig.properties")
def confFile = new File(url.toURI())
Properties properties = new Properties()
confFile.withInputStream {
properties.load(it)
}
environment.propertySources.addFirst(new PropertiesPropertySource("local.config.location", properties))

Is it possible to use virtual path provider with DotNetNuke?

We have a DNN module that uses Angular as its client side framework.
I'd like to be able to embed all the resources such as html , js ,css ,images and fonts to my module.(actually our module have more than one dll and every one of them has its own resources so that I don't want to copy all of these resource into main module folder every time I want to make a package)
So far I have tried WebResource.axd which was successful to some extent (Here's what I have done)but then I realized that It is somehow impossible to embed html,images and other stuffs rather than js and css (or it isn't?)
Then I decided to try using VirtualPathProvider and I used this open source project that implements an EmbeddedResourcesVirtualProvider.
I have registered this provider using IRouteMapper interface of DNN. Now that I start testing my project I am getting 404 for all of my resources. I tried to debug the project and put some break points over FileExists ,DirectoryExists and GetFile methods of VirtualProvider but the only virtual path that is being asked from VirtaulProvider is "~/Default.aspx" and nothing else
I would like to ask if it is possible to use VirtualParhProvider with DNN ?
We are using DNN 8.
I think you are over complicating things a bit. If you need a virtual provider for your module to work you are doing it wrong (in my opinion).
A module should be a self-contained package that could be deployed on any DNN installation without having to do anything but install the module.
Normally when you buy or download a free module, it comes in a single zip file with all the necessary files contained in that zip. That could be any type of file (.dll, .js, css, .ascx, .aspx etc) is does not matter as long as it's defined in the .dnn installation file.
You can then link to the files in the ascx of your module.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/DesktopModules/YourModulePath/js/file.js"></script>
or
<img src="/DesktopModules/YourModulePath/images/image.jpg">
With WebResource you can embed anything - images, html, fonts etc., so I would suggest continuing with the approach you've already taken.
I downloaded and installed your module in DDN 8 for testing. So the following assumes that setup.
To embed an image you can do this:
In the library MyFramework:
Add a file called image.png to a new folder \content\images\
Set Build Action to Embedded Resource for this image
Add [assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("MyFramework.content.images.image.png", "image/png")] to AssemblyInfo.cs
Add protected string myImageUrl { get; private set; } so we can access the URL in the inheriting class
Add myImageUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(typeof(MyModuleBase), "MyFramework.content.images.image.png"); to your OnInit() method
In the consuming project MyModule:
Add <img src="<%=myImageUrl%>"/> to View.ascx
For HTML and similar content type, you can do basically the same as you have already done for the scripts:
In the library MyFramework:
Add a file called myhtml.html to a new folder \content\html\
(in my file I have: <div style="font-weight: bold;font-size: x-large">Some <span style="color: orange">HTML</span></div>)
Set Build Action to Embedded Resource for the html
Add [assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("MyFramework.content.html.myhtml.html", "text/html")] to AssemblyInfo.cs
Add protected string MyHtmlUrl { get; private set; } so we can access the HTML in the inheriting class
Add:
var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var resourceName = "MyFramework.content.html.myhtml.html";
using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
{
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
MyHtmlUrl = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
In the consuming project MyModule:
Add <%=MyHtmlUrl%> to View.ascx

Trying to access web/uploads/produits/img Symfony2

I'm trying to upload a file and place it in my web/uploads/produits/img directory but the code bellow is not working:
public function getUploadDir()
{
return 'uploads/produits/img';
}
protected function getUploadRootDir()
{
return __DIR__.'/../../../../web/'.$this->getUploadDir();
}
I get the folowing error:
Could not move the file "C:\wamp\tmp\php9265.tmp" to "C:\wamp\www\Projet\src\Arkiglass\ProduitBundle/../../../..\web/uploads/produits/img\." (move_uploaded_file()
[function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'C:\wamp\tmp\php9265.tmp' to 'C:\wamp\www\Projet\src\Arkiglass\ProduitBundle/../../../..\web/uploads/produits/img\.')
It's seems like it doesn't know the directory __DIR__.'/../../../../web/'...
It doesn't seem your entity lives under the entity directory, but rather directly under the bundles dir. Does it? So you're going up one dir to much. Two options:
Move your entity in the Entity subfolder, adjust namespace and all references. Standard symfony bundle dir layout.
remove one level of ../

How do I load a dll's config file inside another appdomain

I have an application that needs to load an add-on in the form of a dll. The dll needs to take its configuration information from a configuration (app.config) file. I want to dynamically find out the app.config file's name, and the way to do this, as I understand , is AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile
However, since it is being hosted INSIDE a parent application, the configuration file that is got from the above piece of code is (parentapplication).exe.config. I am not able to load another appdomain inside the parent application but I'd like to change the configuration file details of the appdomain. How should I be going about this to get the dll's configuration file?
OK, in the end, I managed to hack something together which works for me. Perhaps this will help;
Using the Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly, from the DLL which has the config file I want to read, I can use the .CodeBase to find where the DLL was before I launched a new AppDomain for it. The *.dll
.config is in that same folder.
Then have to convert the URI (as .CodeBase looks like "file://path/assembly.dll") to get the LocalPath for the ConfigurationManager (which doesn't like Uri formatted strings).
try
{
string assemblyName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name;
string originalAssemblyPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);
Uri uri = new Uri(String.Format("{0}\\{1}.dll", originalAssemblyPath, assemblyName));
string dllPath = uri.LocalPath;
configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(dllPath);
}
catch { }

Create a directory dynamically inside the "web pages" folder of a java web application

So I'm trying to dynamically create a folder inside the web pages folder.
I'm making a game database. Everytime a game is added I do this:
public void addGame(Game game) throws DatabaseException {
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.persist(game);
em.getTransaction().commit();
File file = new File("C:\\GameDatabaseTestFolder");
file.mkdir();
}
So everything works here.
The file get's created.
But I want to create the folder like this:
public void addGame(Game game) throws DatabaseException {
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.persist(game);
em.getTransaction().commit();
File file = new File(game.getId()+"/screenshots");
file.mkdir();
}
Or something like that. So it will be created where my jsp files are and it will have the id off the game.
I don't understand where the folder is created by default.
thank you in advance,
David
It's by default relative to the "current working directory", i.e. the directory which is currently open at the moment the Java Runtime Environment has started the server. That may be for example /path/to/tomcat/bin, or /path/to/eclipse/workspace/project, etc, depending on how the server is started.
You should now realize that this condition is not controllable from inside the web application.
You also don't want to store it in the expanded WAR folder (there where your JSPs are), because any changes will get lost whenever you redeploy the WAR (with the very simple reason that those files are not contained in the original WAR).
Rather use an absolute path instead. E.g.
String gameWorkFolder = "/path/to/game/work/folder";
new File(gameWorkFolder, game.getId()+"/screenshots");
You can make it configureable by supplying it as a properties file setting or a VM argument.
