Read environment variable

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is there any standard way to read an environment variable (not a java system property) within the SAP J2EE Engine? There is no standard way to so in Java, at least not in Java 1.4.

Thanks in advance,

Matthias

Hi Roberto,

thanks for your replies, but I don't think that they help me a lot...

The method System.getenv(String name) is deprecated under Java 1.4, it will throw an error.

And the IBM class seems only to work on AS/400, which we don't use.

Regards,

Matthias

mmmmhhhh

you are right.

Maybe in 1.5 System.getenv is "un-deprecated".

By the way there is a funny solution.

Execute a OS command like to prompt by CODE and parse the result.
