Class DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet

java.lang.Object
  javax.servlet.GenericServlet
      javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
          org.displaytag.properties.DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

Deprecated. this servlet doesn't support i18n. The recommended way to load custom properties is adding a displaytag.properties file in your classpath. This will also load locale specific properties (for example displaytag_IT.properties) when needed.

public class DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet

extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Servlet which loads a user supplied properties file for the display taglibrary.

You probably do not need to use this servlet. For most cases, you should simply add a displaytag.properties file to your system, to the same effect, and not have to configure this servlet. If you have both a displaytag.properties, and you configure this servlet, the properties in the property file specified here will override the properties in the displaytag.properties.

To set a default properties for a whole web application configure this servlet in web.xml and set a "properties.filename" parameter with the path to the properties file, relative to the web application root (example: "WEB-INF/display.properties").

The original properties file is still loaded and used when any of the parameters is missing

Sample Web.xml entry:

     <servlet id="DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet">
         <servlet-name>DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet</servlet-name>
         <display-name>DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet</display-name>
         <description>displaytag initialization servlet</description>
         <servlet-class>org.displaytag.properties.DisplayPropertiesLoaderServlet</servlet-class>
         <init-param>
             <param-name>properties.filename</param-name>
             <param-value>WEB-INF/display.properties</param-value>
         </init-param>
         <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
     </servlet>
