Loading properties of Property file JBOSS-7 - jboss7.x

I have done my configuration as per https://community.jboss.org/message/750465
I need to load a key from properties-service.xml which has below attributes.
<attribute name="Properties">
project.userName=xxxxx
project.userType=xxxxx
project.userToken=xxxx
My code access these properties as below
Properties globalSystemProperties = System.getProperties();
Enumeration keys = (Enumeration) globalSystemProperties.propertyNames();
I am not seeing my key list when iterate , What Could be the reason?

The reason is that it isn't supported anymore, like the thread you linked says:
jaikiran pai Dec 19, 2011 10:53 PM (in response to David Robison)
It doesn't exist in AS7.
This page tells a way of doing it with modules, but that will not work using System.getProperties(), it will only place them on classpath.
If you want your properties in the System.getProperties() code, I only can think of these options:
use --property or -P startup parameter pointing to your file, like explained here
populate them as <system-property/> in the configuration file
set them to actual system properties on startup or in code
use Spring or similar to add them as system properties
The first option is I guess the closest you can have.

How to read values dynamically from a file for a property in updateAttribute?

I added some custom properties in the 'updateAttribute' processor using the '+' button. For example: I declared a property 'DBConnectionURL' and gave the value as 'jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test'. Then, in the 'DBCPConnectionPool' service controller, I simple used the value'${DBConnectionURL}' for 'Database Connection URL' property. But, I manually gave the value for 'DBConnectionURL' property.I want a way where I can feed the value dynamically from a file, so that i just need to change the value in the file and the value for 'DBConnectionURL' changes dynamically based on the value present in the file. Is there a way to do it?
Rishab,
You have to use nifi variable registry.
In conf/nifi.properties, you could configure the below configuration in it for dynamically update a value in your data flow.
nifi.variable.registry.properties=./dynamic.properties
You can give your variables in that file dynamic.properties it should present in conf directory.
For an example, If dynamic.properties files contains below values
DBCPURL= jdbc://<host>:<port>
you can use that in your data flow by using ${DBCPURL}
Note: You should restart nifi services if you change any configuration in conf/nifi.properties.Otherwise your changes not worked in dataflow.
Feel free to accept it be answer if it worked for you.

CMS hippo property reading from .yaml file

I need to read the properties which are stated in my one of the .yaml file(eg banner.yaml). These properties should be read in a java class so that they can be accessed and the operation can be performed wisely.
This is my label.yaml file
/content/documents/administration/labels:
jcr:primaryType: hippostd:folder
jcr:mixinTypes: ['mix:referenceable']
jcr:uuid: 7ec0e757-373b-465a-9886-d072bb813f58
hippostd:foldertype: [new-resource-bundle, new-untranslated-folder]
/global:
jcr:primaryType: hippo:handle
jcr:mixinTypes: ['hippo:named', 'mix:referenceable']
jcr:uuid: 31e4796a-4025-48a5-9a6e-c31ba1fb387e
hippo:name: Global
How should I access the hippo:name property which should return me Global as value in one of the java class ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Create a class which extends BaseHstComponent, which allows you to make use of HST Content Bean's
Create a session Object, for this you need to have valid credentials of your repository.
Session session = repository.login("admin", "admin".toCharArray());
Now, create object of javax.jcr.Node, for this you require relPath to your .yaml file.
In your case it will be /content/documents/administration/labels/global
Node node = session.getRootNode().getNode("content/articles/myarticle");
Now, by using getProperty method you can access the property.
node.getProperty("hippotranslation:locale");
you can refere the link https://www.onehippo.org/library/concepts/content-repository/jcr-interface.html
you can't read a yaml file from within the application. The yaml file is bootstrapped in the repository. The data you show represents a resource bundle. You can access it programmatically using the utility class ResourceBundleUtils#getBundle
Or on a template use . Then you can use keys as normal.
I strongly suggest you follow our tutorials before continuing.

How to set Neo4J config keys in gremlin-scala?

When running a Neo4J database server standalone (on Ubuntu 14.04), configuration options are set for the global installation in etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf or possibly $NEO4J_HOME/conf/neo4j.conf.
However, when instantiating a Neo4j database from Java or Scala using Apache's Neo4jGraph class (org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.neo4j.structure.Neo4jGraph), there is no global installation, and the constructor does not (as far as I can tell) look for any configuration files.
In particular, when running the test suite for my application, I end up with many simultaneous instances of Neo4jGraph, which ends up throwing a java.net.BindException: Address already in use because all of these instances are trying to communicate over a small range of ports for online backup, which I don't actually need. These channels are set with config options dbms.backup.address (default value: 127.0.0.1:6362-6372) and dbms.backup.enabled (default value: true).
My problem would be solved by setting dbms.backup.enabled to false, or expanding the port range.
Things that have not worked:
Creating /etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf containing the line dbms.backup.enabled=false.
Creating the same file in my project's src/main/resources directory.
Creating the same file in src/main/resources/neo4j.
Manually setting the configuration property inside the Scala code:
val db = new Neo4jGraph(dataDirectory)
db.configuration.addProperty("dbms.backup.enabled",false)
or
db.configuration.addProperty("neo4j.conf.dbms.backup.enabled",false)
or
db.configuration.addProperty("gremlin.neo4j.conf.dbms.backup.enabled",false)
How should I go about setting this property?
Neo4jGraph configuration through TinkerPop is accomplished by a pass-through of configuration keys. In TinkerPop 3.x, that would mean that all Neo4j keys prefixed with gremlin.neo4j.conf that are provided via Configuration object to Neo4jGraph.open() or GraphFactory.open() will be passed down directly to the Neo4j instance. You can see examples of this here in the TinkerPop documentation on high availability configuration.
In TinkerPop 2.x, the same approach was taken however the key prefix was instead blueprints.neo4j.conf.* as discussed here.
Manipulating db.configuration after the database connection had already been opened was definitely futile.
stephen mallette's answer was on the right track, but this particular configuration doesn't appear to pass through in the way his linked example does. There is a naming mismatch between the configuration keys expected in neo4j.conf and those expected in org.neo4j.backup.OnlineBackupKernelExtension. Instead of dbms.backup.address and dbms.backup.enabled, that class looks for config keys online_backup_server and online_backup_enabled.
I was not able to get these keys passed down to the underlying Neo4jGraphAPI instance correctly. What I had to do, instead, was the following:
import org.neo4j.tinkerpop.api.impl.Neo4jFactoryImpl
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
val factory = new Neo4jFactoryImpl()
val config = Map(
"online_backup_enabled" -> "true",
"online_backup_server" -> "0.0.0.0:6350-6359"
).asJava
val db = Neo4jGraph.open(factory.newGraphDatabase(dataDirectory,config))
With this initialization, the instance correctly listened for backups on port 6350; changing "true" to "false" disabled backup listening.
Using Neo4j 3.0.0 the following disables port listening for me (Java code)
import org.apache.commons.configuration.BaseConfiguration;
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.neo4j.structure.Neo4jGraph;
BaseConfiguration conf = new BaseConfiguration();
conf.setProperty(Neo4jGraph.CONFIG_DIRECTORY, "/path/to/db");
conf.setProperty(Neo4jGraph.CONFIG_CONF + "." + "dbms.backup.enabled", "false");
graph = Neo4jGraph.open(config);

MsTest, DataSourceAttribute - how to get it working with a runtime generated file?

for some test I need to run a data driven test with a configuration that is generated (via reflection) in the ClassInitialize method (by using reflection). I tried out everything, but I just can not get the data source properly set up.
The test takes a list of classes in a csv file (one line per class) and then will test that the mappings to the database work out well (i.e. try to get one item from the database for every entity, which will throw an exception when the table structure does not match).
The testmethod is:
[DataSource(
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.CSV",
"|DataDirectory|\\EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv",
"EntityMappingsTests.Types#csv",
DataAccessMethod.Sequential)
]
[TestMethod()]
public void TestMappings () {
Obviously the file is EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv. It should be in the DataDirectory.
Now, in the Initialize method (marked with ClassInitialize) I put that together and then try to write it.
WHERE should I write it to? WHERE IS THE DataDirectory?
I tried:
File.WriteAllText(context.TestDeploymentDir + "\\EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv", types.ToString());
File.WriteAllText("EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv", types.ToString());
Both result in "the unit test adapter failed to connect to the data source or read the data". More exact:
Error details: The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the
object 'EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv'. Make sure the object exists
and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
So where should I put that file?
I also tried just writing it to the current directory and taking out the DataDirectory part - same result. Sadly, there is limited debugging support here.
Please use the ProcessMonitor tool from technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645. Put a filter on MSTest.exe or the associate qtagent32.exe and find out what locations it is trying to load from and at what point in time in the test loading process. Then please provide an update on those details here .
After you add the CSV file to your VS project, you need to open the properties for it. Set the Property "Copy To Output Directory" to "Copy Always". The DataDirectory defaults to the location of the compiled executable, which runs from the output directory so it will find it there.

Birt data source parameters from a property file

I have multiple BIRT reports that obtains the data from the same jdbc data source.
Is it possible to obtain the conection parameters (Driver URL, User Name, and Password) from an external property file or similar?
One you create a functional data source, you can add that data source to a report library that can be imported and used by all BIRT reports in your system. The source inside the library can have static connection attributes, or you can abstract them using externalized properties.
If you want to externalize the connection info, you will need to tweak the Data source itself. Inside the Data Source Editor, there is a "Property Binding" section that allows you to abstract all the values governing the data connection. From there you can bind the values (using the expression editor) to either report parameters or a properties file.
To bind to a report parameter, use this syntax: params[parametername].value as the expression.
To bind to a properties file, set the Resource file in the Report's top-level properties. From there you can just use the property key value to bind the entry to the Data Source.
Good Luck!
An alternative to the good #Mystik's "Property binding" solution is externalizing to a connection profile.
Create a data source (say "DS"), setting up a correct configuration of the parameters to connect to a DB.
Right click on "DS" > Externalize to Connection Profile... > check both options, set a name for the Connection Profile, Ok > set the path and filename were to save the Connection Profile Store (say "reportName.cps"), uncheck Encrypt... (in this way we can modify information in the XML file by hand).
Now we have "reportName.cps", an XML file that we can modify according to the environment where we place our report (development, production,...). The problem is that "DS" has loaded statically those info from "reportName.cps". It loads them dinamically if it can find "reportName.cps" in the absolute path we specified. So changing environment the file path will be different and the report won't find our file. To tell the report the correct location of the file and load it dynamically let's write a script:
Setup a beforeOpen script to use the connection profile that is deployed in the resource folder which can be different for every environment:
var myresourcefolder = reportContext.getDesignHandle().getResourceFolder();
this.setExtensionProperty("OdaConnProfileStorePath", myresourcefolder + "/reportName.cps");
For those struggling configuring a connection profile, the files must look as follow (exemple using PostgreSQL as an exemple):
db-config-birt.xml (or whatever name)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<DataTools.ServerProfiles version="1.0">
<profile autoconnect="No" desc="" id="uuid" name="MyPostgreSQL"
providerID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc">
<baseproperties>
<property name="odaDriverClass" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
<property name="odaURL" value="jdbc:postgresql://XX:5432/YY"/>
<property name="odaPassword" value="zzz"/>
<property name="odaUser" value="abc"/>
</baseproperties>
</profile>
</DataTools.ServerProfiles>
The key points here are:
The xml MUST start with <?xml version="1.0"?> (or <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> but when I was using it, I have having a parsing exception while deploying on Tomcat)
The properties keys MUST be odaDriverClass, odaURL, odaPassword, odaUser (order doesn't matter)
This file must have the right to be accessed, for e.g. chmod 664 this file
If any of the 2 conditions above aren't met, Birt will throw a laconic :
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: An exception occurred during processing. Please see the following message for details:
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.JDBCException: Missing properties in Connection.open(Properties). ;
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.OdaException: Unable to find or access the named profile (MyPostgreSQL) in profile store path (/opt/tomcat/mytomcat/conf/db-config-birt.xml). ;
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.OdaException ;
Then in the report (myreport.rptdesign), in the XML of it, the datasource must then look like that:
myreport.rptdesign (or whatever name)
<data-sources>
<oda-data-source extensionID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc" name="MyPostgreSQL" id="320">
<property name="OdaConnProfileName">MyPostgreSQL</property>
<property name="OdaConnProfileStorePath">/opt/tomcat/mytomcat/conf/db-config-birt.xml</property>
</oda-data-source>
</data-sources>
Obviously, you will adapt the OdaConnProfileStorePath to suit your needs
