[Article] Client Access to Servoy's (Database Server) Properties Comments (1)

by Tom Parry, President
Prospect IT Consulting

Have you ever needed to get the the servoy.properties file while in the Smart Client? Have you had a need to do server side processing invoked from the client? Then read on.

I had a need to get the properties file, or more specifically the values of the db server attributes, while creating a stand-alone Jasper Reporting application that is also able to be called from Servoy as application.executeProgram (or application.executeProgramInBackground).

I had to get:

the database server connection based on the server name
the database URL,
the driver,
the user name,
and other things.

So where is this information kept?

[Commentary] Servoy World 2008 Wrap Up Comments (3)

Picture_3 Servoy World 2008 is over. Whew. One more day of that and my head would have exploded. My brain was not made for absorbing tons of Servoy information, unloading tons of Servoy information (Troy and I did two sessions and two full days of teaching), and having Bob Cusick shout full voice six inches from my right ear every hand at the poker tournament (I blame him for going out early).

Who Should Attend
This class is NOT for new Servoy developers - you will be expected to already know the basics and beyond of methods and forms. You should know Servoy 3.X and have developed applications within that environment. It would be best if you have downloaded 4.x and played around with it.

Requirements
