Hi,
I am new to vaadin (and web programming in general), and am looking for a way to read a configured path from a config file. Searching on the internet seems to suggest the way to do this is use web.xml and store the parameter as an , however my application doesn’t seem to get the correct value
I am using the following entry in the web.xml:
SimplevaadinserverUI
com.vaadin.server.VaadinServlet
<init-param>
<param-name>configFilePath</param-name>
<param-value>/Path/To/XML/File.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
In the vaadin server application I have tried the following approaches:
DeploymentConfiguration conf = getSession().getConfiguration();
String configFilePath = conf.getApplicationOrSystemProperty(“configFilePath”, “default/path/of/File.xml”);
This always gives me the default, instead of the value in the xml that I am looking for.
-
String configFilePath = VaadinServlet.getCurrent().getInitParameter("configFilePath");
I get null for this.
Can anyone help with this?
