Want to access constant values from properties file

[Pushpa]

Hi Admin,

I want to access the constant values from properties file. My purpose to avoid hard coded values like height, width, name etc
Got to use properties file only because i don't want to recompile over change in the constant value.
I do not mean Internationalization by this.

For Example:
=============
dynamicForm.setCellBorder(2);
dynamicForm.setWidth(300);
dynamicForm.setHeight(300);

I want some thing like:
======================
dynamicForm.setCellBorder(BORDER);
dynamicForm.setWidth(FORM.WIDTH);
dynamicForm.setHeight(FORM.HEIGHT);


Thanks in Advance

Note: We are assuming we're talking about SmartGWT here, not SmartClient.

This would seem to be a general GWT question rather than a SmartGWT question per se - however, presumably you can use the standard GWT i18n interfaces to read constants from a .properties file for this usage:
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode...Constants.html.

Alternatively you could avoid using a .properties file entirely by writing a small .js file containing your constants written into the page's global scope, load this into your bootstrap, and then having a small JSNI function to read these values and make them available to your Java code. Then you'd only need to modify the .js file to pick up the changes - no need for recompiling your GWT source and redeploying.

Thanks a lot, the top fix works...:)
