Using *.properties file

[partizano]

Hi, Activiti Team!

I try to create my own *.properties file and get properties from it.

I have created "loanConfig.properties" file, packed it to separate jar-archive and put to webapps\activiti-rest\WEB-INF\lib\

For getting properties I use following code:

        Properties configFile = new Properties();
        String result = "";
        try {
            //FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("loanConfig.properties");
            //configFile.load(in);
            configFile.load(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("loanConfig.properties"));
            result = configFile.getProperty("key");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            …
        }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it doesn't work. Exception is:

 ""      ,"java.lang.NullPointerException"
      ,"java.util.Properties$LineReader.readLine(Properties.java:418)"
      ,"java.util.Properties.load0(Properties.java:337)"

If I use FileInputStream (in my code it is commented), IOException is rasied…

Can you help me?

Which properties file are you referring to?
Activiti uses an xml config file.

[ronald_van_kuij]

his own (look in the code) , but I think it is just not on the classpath… Then you get this error

Hi, Ronald!

Packing *.properties file to jar-archive, putting it to webapps\activiti-rest\WEB-INF\lib\, then restarting Tomcat - it is all that I have to do, that I can acess *.properties file from Activiti Service Task?

Thanks, Alexander

Why would it be any different? It is just java 🙂
