About Properties Files

A properties file is an optional text file where you can specify frequently used parameters or parameters that you cannot specify in the JPublisher wizard. Note that if you need only the default output of JPublisher, then you do not need a properties file.

The properties file is designated in the JPublisher wizard.

In a properties file, you enter one (and only one) parameter and its associated value on each line. Each parameter name must be preceded with the prefix "jpub." and you cannot use any white space within a line. You can enter any parameter except the props parameter in the properties file. JPublisher processes the parameters, in order, from the top of the list to the bottom. If you specify a parameter more than once, JPublisher uses the last encountered value.

A properties file might contain the following:




jpub.case=lower



jpub.package=package1



jpub.numbertypes=jdbc



jpub.lobtypes=jdbc



jpub.builtintypes=jdbc



jpub.usertypes=jdbc



jpub.omit_schema_names



jpub.methods=true



jpub.input=mySchema.txt



jpub.sql=employee:oracleEmployee
