Both
the applet and servlet can be set to retrieve the configuration
properties from a data file. The configuration file
is simply a list of the property names with the value
for each property.
The
first element of a line in this file specifies the property
name whilst the second represents the value for that
property.
Any
line in the file which is either blank or begins with
<!-- will be ignored. Therefore comment lines may
be added to file by beginning the line with <!--.
We
recommend that, rather than building a configuration
from scratch, that you take a copy of the example file
barprops.txt
file and modify the values to suite your implementation.
In
both the applet and servlet the configuration file is
specified via a URL parameter and therefore the file
can be placed in any directory accessible via URL. However
we recommend keeping this config file in the same directory
as your web page which incorporates the bar graph
For
a full explanation of each property and range of valid
values please see the
Parameters & Option section.
