Ok, so I've been researching ESAPI for awhile now and trying to determnine how to create custom ESAPI and validator.properties files that override those found in my ESAPI jar. How do I accomplish this? I know it looks in 4 places (reference: ESAPI properties file in Tomcat, ESAPI docs) when trying to load, obviously loading via the classpath works but it's loading the default property values. I can get my custom properties to load when I put them in my home directory but that isn't very helpful.
Is there a way to get ESAPI to load my custom properties files when they are in my main projects directory?
Did you try to use
-Dorg.owasp.esapi.resources=PATH_TO_FOLDER
JVM option?

Is it possible to externalize rest-messages.properties in SDR?
I tried to move it to ./config folder, for example, but it didn't work.
The rest-messages.properties (used to add custom details to your ALPS descriptions) goes to the same location where you would put custom application-*.properties or messages-*.properties file.
For instance, for a Spring Boot project the .properties file are located in the src/main/resources/ directory.
You can also set custom config locations for your .properties file.
Edit after the OP's comment: However, I tried using a custom rest-messages.properties outside of the project .jar (as I usually do with my application.properties), and it does not seem to work.
Recently I decided to study php and I discovered yii framework. At first glance it seemed very easy to work with it but now I am struggling to configure my web application for installing an extension to work with Enums. I downloaded this extension from their web site and I put it within extensions folder. The issue is that I am not able to call the subclasses that I created in my code. I created a few classes that extend from this superclass (extension).
Which configuration I must do to make this extension class, available to my web application code?
As I said I just put that extension class in my extensions folder and I am just instantiating them, inside controller's methods. When I run the code I see the same error message no matter any configuration I make:
include (xxx.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
If anyone does want to know more about this extension this is the page that shows some information about that.
http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/enum/
in config/main.php you should add your extension details in the components array, something like:
return array(
// 'preload'=>array('xyz',...),
'components'=>array(
'xyz'=>array(
'class'=>'ext.xyz.XyzClass',
'property1'=>'value1',
'property2'=>'value2',
),
// other component configurations
),
);
where xyz is an extension
or just put it in the extensions folder and import it by Yii::import('application.extensions.extensionname.*');
I'm new to resources with coding. I just want to create a standalone exe that has a couple of png images bundled inside of it.
Is there a way to do this? I have tried setting the build action of the images to embedded resource but when the program is compiled there seems to be no exe at all. I'm sure there's a simple way that this is done.
Use My.Resources. Don't add the image files to the project in the Solution Explorer yourself. Open the project properties and add the files on the Resources page. If you add Image1.png and Image2.png then you can access them in code using My.Resources.Image1 and My.Resources.Image2. You don't have to do anything extra.
I've got a 'Main app' and a 'Helper app' (sandboxed, if that matters) that share a private framework including some resources, nib files, sound files etc.
The framework gets called and used by both apps without issues. However from within in the Framework code I have a NSViewController that loads a nib file which is included in its resource folder. This seems to work as long as its called by the 'Main app'. Doing the same with the Helper app (a login item) however does not work and fails with an "Unable to find nib named" error.
The actual 'Framework' is copied to the Main app's 'Frameworks' directory and I use a #rpath in the helper app to find the framework: #executable_path/../../../../Frameworks
This setup seems to work just fine however at runtime it seems the frameworks code tries to find the named Resource under the helper app's Resource folder and not under the Framework's resource folder. Is there a setting or some flag that I can set in xcode to make the framework's always look under the exact path where the framework's executable/library is installed?
It seems the only solution is to copy the framework to the 'Helper' app as well. Resources otherwise do not get loaded if the framework was just a symbolic link to the actual framework placed inside the main app.
What you can do is making your Framework dynamic or shared like described here Dynamic Library Programming Topics
Though it is a bit of a complex process, but a very nice feature.
What else can help you?
Perhaps editing the Library Search Paths or the Framework Search Paths under your Build Settings in Xcode. there you can specify additional search paths to look for.
Even though, I would not copy the Framework to the Main app's dir. I would leave it in one place on your disk, add them to your project (Main and helper) and add the specified search path.
By the way: How is your framework implemented? Is it a folder, is it compiled, or is it only code files?
The architecture of my web application is highly modular. I am using apache tiles as the templating framework. The app modules are bundled as different jar files and put inside WEB-INF/lib folder. So each jar file will contain its own tiles configuration files (containing tiles definitions) and related jsp templates.
I am using CompleteAutoloadTilesListener which is a part of tiles-extras package to read the tiles config files from the jar files. But the jsp files aren't picked up by tiles. When I access any definition, it couldn't find the jsp template file.
A configuration change will solve this problem? or should I subclass any tiles base class to let tiles load jsps from the jar?
Someone else ran into this problem before and even wrote a blog about it
It mentions this issue that is fixed, so you should be able to use the same setup and load your tiles definitions from the classpath.
I haven't tested it, but it looks like a sensible solution.
