[Opensource] ConfigManager custom properties

[Eddie Lewis]

After adding the property to your xml config file get the property in your
app via

  // example utility function to get a custom property
  public static String getCustomProp () 
  {
    String sCustomProp = null;
    
    try {
        sFontDir =
ConfigManager.getContext("default").getCustomProperty("PropertyInConfigFile"
);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      // do something
    }
    
    return sCustomProp ;
  }

Helga,

I looked at the Expresso DTD:

<!ELEMENT context (description?, hasSetupTables?, jdbc?, type-mapping*, 
images, startJobHandler?, showStackTrace?, mailDebug?, customProperty*, 
path-mappings*, expressoDir?, setupDefault*)>

<!ELEMENT customProperty (name, value)>


So according to this you should put
<customProperty>
         <name>Test</name>
         <value>Abcdefg</value>
</customProperty>

after mailDebug entries in your expresso-config contexts....

Disclaimer:  I personally haven't used it in my own apps, so mileage may 
vary. :(

                                                 -Mike
