Application attributes in the .JAD file

[heuven]

Hi,

a J2ME app comes as a .jad file plus .jar file. You can put your own application attributes in the .jad file and read them using Java code from the .jar file. Is it also possible to write changes to the .jad attributes?

Basically I am looking for a way to save and read settings from my J2ME application - preferably not in an external file.

I also saw that some people store a data file in the .jar file and can read settings from inside the .jar file. Would it be possible to write back modifications to such a data file inside the .jar file?

BR,

Rene

PS I used Advanced Discussion Search on this Forum using keyword "setting" and another search using keyword "jad" and it gave nada/zero results. Which is really supprising as I cannot image this forum does not contain these words.

Hi, heuven

Is it also possible to write changes to the .jad attributes?

Suppose you are using Netbeans or any any other environment for development , then open project right click on that , wiil give you properties, find the application descriptor there.
After that you can add your own jad properties.

Would it be possible to write back modifications to such a data file inside the .jar file?

Once it is installed in the system can not be changed, because the setting are loaded in the system.
