Environment properties

Description

Application clients, EJB components, and Web applications allow you to define environment properties, which contain global read-only data used by the application code. For example, you might define the administrator’s e-mail address as an environment property.

Environment properties have the form:

env-entry1, env-entry2, ...

Where env-entry1, env-entry2, and so forth are of the form:

(description=desc,env-entry-value=value, 
env-entry-type=type,env-entry-name=jndi-name)

Where:

• desc is an optional comment describing how the entry is to be set.

• value is the initial value of the property, specified in a format that is valid for the selected datatype.

• type is the Java datatype of the entry, which is one of:

  • java.lang.String

  • java.lang.Boolean

  • java.lang.Integer

  • java.lang.Double

  • java.lang.Byte

  • java.lang.Short

  • java.lang.Long

  • java.lang.Float

• jndi-name is entry’s JNDI name, relative to the java:comp/env prefix.
