Inside of the config.ini in the server it is possible to override the member variables of services.

For example:

com.bsiag.mnet.server.services.common.sql.SqlService#directJ dbcConnection=true


If the service SqlService has a setter method for the member directJdbcConnection then the member has at runtime the value true.

With Scout Eclipse this works for all classes which extends AbstractService

For other classes it must be done by yourself for example with the class FilterConfigInjection at startup.

..ini, does that mean, the server or Scout as a whole is limited to Windows?!

every Eclipse installation contains a file
[yourEclipseDir/configuration/config.ini] where bundle properties can be
defined. This file has nothing to do with any underlying OS.

No, Scout applications are not operating system deptendent. At
EclipseCon 2010 we did a tutorial covering mac, linux and windows os.

Cheers Andreas

Well most applications use the standard properties like OSGi, etc.
Is there a complete list of those Scout extends, at least on the server?

Thanks,
Werner

Basically every service member having a setter method can be initialized
with a config.ini property.
e.g.

package com.bsiag.services;
public class MyService extends AbstractService{
private boolean m_foo;
private String m_bar;

public void setFoo(boolean foo){
m_foo = foo;
}

public void setBar(String bar){
m_bar = bar;
}
}

config.ini:
com.bsiag.services.MyService#foo = true
com.bsiag.services.MyService#bar = aValue

Interesting, thanks for the update.

I'm sure this should work well for server-side Eclipse applications, but I
can't imagine client applications making regular use of it.
Most apps store their properties elsewhere, e.g. in .meta-inf, even if
they're not primarily IDE style.

STEM does, and that way projects are more easily to use across teams. You
wouldn't want to copy the config.ini from one system to another.
