I want to use System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", path) where path points to jks certificate which is in project's resources. The problem is my project is jira plugin and it uses OSGI. When I use getClass.getResource("certificate.jks") I get path = "bundle://..." and then certificate isn't found. I also tried to put there just "/certificate.jks" but it didn't work too.
Do you have some ideas how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance for any ideas!
One solution is to use Bundle.getEntry("path/to/your/trust/store/file/relative/tobundle/root") then do toURI to get a File that you can open and get the string value and then use that value to set the system property you mentioned in your question. Bundle.getResource method will search classpath of other imported bundles. If this does not work then try doing Bundle.getClassLoader() to load the resource you want because you are probably getting a different class loader as each bundle uses their own. Hope this answers yoru quesiton.

I am creating a Setup for my .Net Application using WIX.
I want to check the existence of a file before installing my WIX SET UP as a Dependency.
If that file not exist then a message should be displayed.
Any help would be appreciated.
To check for the existence of a file you can use the FileSearch-element in combination with the DirectorySearch-element. For an example you can take a look at How To: Check the Version Number of a File During Installation (you don't have to use the version part for your needs).
For displaying the dialog you can create your own SpawnDialog like described here. Another alternative would be to add the text as property to the Welcome-dialog and set the property based on your findings. Still another way would be to include a second Welcome-dialog and then invoke the needed one as described in this stackoverflow-question.
Apparently I'm terrible at Googling. All I want to do is have the ability to read my web service URL from a config file in my PhoneGap app. Also, be able to modify that value during the build process. Is this named alot different in Xcode? I think I need to save this value in the plist file. If that's the case, then I can just set a user-setting in my build configuration stuff to have it change depending on which build type, Dev/Release.
If that's true, how do I access this from PhoneGap?
I'm guessing this question will get closed, but where else do I go for help...
plist file for cordova project already depreciate since v2.2. Cordova v2.3 start using config.xml.
Target > Edit Scheme
You could probably use hooks to accomplish everything that you are trying to do without changing around the config.xml file, but I'm not entirely sure this is supported with Phonegap (it is with Cordova.)
Check out the official help page to use the /hooks/ folder to modify anything during the build process: https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/blob/master/templates/hooks-README.md
This blog post also seems pretty useful: http://devgirl.org/2013/11/12/three-hooks-your-cordovaphonegap-project-needs/ it talks about changing things based on the environment and I'm sure it'd be easy to extend that to changing based on dev/release.
You could store the link to your web service probably as a config variable. I'm trying to figure out how you can add a config variable and will report back if I get it. In the mean time you could probably just have something like a server.txt file that you change with hooks.
How to configure JIRA_HOME? I'm getting an error:
Configured jira.home '/Users/codedroid/Downloads/atlassian-jira-5.1-standalone' must not be a parent directory of the webapp servlet path '/Users/codedroid/Downloads/atlassian-jira-5.1-standalone/atlassian-jira'
Changed it and now I get this:
Configured jira.home '/Users/codedroid/Downloads/atlassian-jira-5.1-standalone/atlassian-jira' must not be the same as the webapp servlet path '/Users/codedroid/Downloads/atlassian-jira-5.1-standalone/atlassian-jira'
Have a look in here, if you're still having troubles please write what did you set JIRA_HOME to be and where did you defined it, thanks.
EDIT
Yea, that documentation is more of 'how to' instead of 'what'. A better explanation of what the JIRA_HOME should be is writen in more details here.
Anyway, if you feel that the documentation are confusing or just bad, you could do everyone a favour and write it at the bottom of the page, under comments, so other could see it easily.
The JIRA documentation does NOT! make it clear even to a seasoned programmer that this JIRA_HOME directory is referring to a data directory and not the installation directory. If there are any JIRA folks out there please fix this outragious misunderstanding in your documentation. JAVA_HOME refers to you guessed it the installation location of java. Its called a 'convention' if you want to invent some other meaning please say so it your documentation and don't wast valuable developer time on installing your productivity tool. Think its not a problem? Google 'must not be the same as the webapp servlet path' and see what you get back. Thanks for wasting my afternoon, and no doubt the time of many others.
(warning) However, avoid locating the JIRA Home Directory inside the JIRA Installation Directory.
This appears in only documentation point and is not the first place people look as noted above
Just create a folder named JIRA, then set the environment variable JIRA_HOME as D:\JIRA, as well as the application properties file.
# jira-application.properties
jira.home = D:\\JIRA
Don't be confused with the JAVA_HOME, JIRA_HOME has absolutely nothing to do with the folder of your zip ball downloaded from official website.
JIRA_HOME is an empty folder where JIRA will create everything it needs in a RUNTIME.
It is NOT a folder where your unpacked JIRA distribution resides.
P.S. yes it is confusing still in 2021
I needed some templates to render some code for users to paste. I put these into
/project-dir/grails-app/resources/templates/quickInstallCode.html
Then I tried accessing them using their relative path (grails-app/resources/templates/quickInstallCode.html), and it worked great.
When we then deployed the application to a Tomcat Server, using a .war file, the paths began pointing to a wrong location.
ERROR call, Template file /var/lib/tomcat6/grails-app/resources/templates/quickInstallCode.html not found.
I assumed, that Grails, giving good defaults for everything would handle this mess for me, but it seems like it does not.
I also tried this call, and it seemed to work great, but when deployed, the BuildSettingsHolder did not contain build Settings, which resulted in a fatal error.
BuildSettingsHolder.settings.baseDir.toString()
http://grails.org/doc/latest/api/grails/util/BuildSettingsHolder.html
http://grails.org/doc/latest/api/grails/util/BuildSettings.html
I am pretty frustrated that I cannot get this easy task to work, but the reason that this is so complicated seems to be that all Files are encapsuled in a WAR and not unpacked on the Server.
So the Questions are:
Where in your Project would you put
Files like this?
How to get a
reliable and stable way to access
this files? I just need a stable path to a base directory, without having to hardcode something in the configuration ... This cannot be so hard.
I have 2 solution to propose for this situation:
Save the template in the database, in a setting table. This way guarantees that nothing can go wrong.
You can consider using the resource folder like Sachin & Nirmal has proposed. About security, I think you can configure SpringSecurity Plugin to protect the specific resources, so that it can only be accessed by the site user.
Take a look at this link and try to use the getResource that spring provides. Its way more flexible and configurable.
def filePath = "resources/file.txt"
def appHolder=ApplicationHolder.application.parentContext.getResource("classpath:$filePath")
By the way Conf is on the root of the classpath, you can stick the files in src/java or src/groovy.
I keep my static resources in web-app folder and access them like this
ApplicationHolder.application.parentContext.servletContext.getRealPath("quickInstallCode.html")
// quickInstallCode.html should be in web-app folder.
This seems like an excellent script but lacks a key part to its installation I can't seem to figure out. Maybe someone out there can help a newb.
What I've done so far :
Installed the s3sync package.
Downloaded the s3 certificate
Downloaded the s3 ssl package
ran it with sh ssh.certs.shar
Edited the s3conf.yml file to have the correct AWS id and password and a path to the cert file
When I run the s3cmd.rb I get the error "You didn't set up your environment variables; see README.txt"
To which I agree, there is no information written regarding where I specify destination or target.
Guesses :
-The cert file has to be in a specific place to which it isn't, or its in the incorrect cert file
-the s3conf.yml may not have the correct information written in it.
UPDATE:
Uninstalled everything, and installed it as a gem. Made sure the s3config.yml is still in /etc/s3conf/ . Still nothing though.
Some b/s here but I went into the s3config.rb
Found this line :
confpath = ["#{ENV['S3CONF']}", "#{ENV['HOME']}/.s3conf", "/etc/s3conf"]
and ripped it apart to this :
confpath = ["/etc/s3conf"]
Done, problem solved.
Yes. The environment variables are not being found. This troubled me for a while. It is because the locations you are setting in that initial line of confpath code ["#{ENV['S3CONF']}", ... is not actually the location of the variables contained in the .yaml file.
As Trip says, hard setting that value to the dir containing the .yaml file solved this problem for me.
You could actually set the values using 'export' but really, this is much easier!
