Loading QoS Profiles from a Java Resource

Hello,

I'm trying to load my QoS profiles from a file located inside my project's .jar file (a java resource). I know it's possible to do it manually from within my code but I wanted to know if it's possible to use the NDDS_QOS_PROFILES environment variable to somehow point to a java resource. I've seen a brief mention of URL groups in the Connext User Manual but it didn't help me much.

I'd really appreciate your advice,

Thanks,

Maor

Hello Maor, 

Unfortunately, there is no API that will load the XML profile directly from a .jar file.  This means that you need to load the XML from the .jar, and convert it into a string profile in your code, and add that string profile to the DomainParticipantFactory's QoS.

The best way to do this is:

  • get the DomainParticipantFactory's QoS by calling factory.get_qos(factoryQos);
  • get the XML file resource as a stream/convert it to a buffered input stream
  • read the file line by line
  • strip off everything before the first <dds> tag
  • line by line, add the remaining part of the file to the DomainParticipantFactory's QoS under profile.string_profile by calling factoryQos.profile.string_profile.add(line);
  • When done, call factory.set_qos(factoryQos); 

Thank you!

Rose
