Abstract
A configuration tool and method of updating a pointer entry in a Java archive (JAR) file pointing to a peripheral configuration file comprises generally continuously listening for an event signifying deployment of a peripheral configuration file and in response to the event, automatically updating the pointer entry in the JAR file that points to the deployed peripheral configuration file.
Claims25
A method of updating an archive file property pointing to a configuration file, said method comprising:
- detecting when a configuration file has been deployed;
- and
- automatically updating a pointer entry in the archive file that is associated with said deployed configuration file.
A method of updating a pointer entry in a Java archive (JAR) file pointing to a peripheral configuration file comprising:
- generally continuously listening for an event signifying deployment of a peripheral configuration file;
- and
- in response to said event, automatically updating the pointer entry in said JAR file pointing to the deployed peripheral configuration file.
A point-of-sale (POS) station comprising:
- a host device executing a POS application comprising an archive file including a properties file storing at least one pointer entry pointing to an associated peripheral configuration file;
- at least one peripheral communicating with said POS application via a POS device and an associated application program interface;
- and
- a listener application detecting deployment of a peripheral configuration file and automatically updating the pointer entry in said properties file pointing to said deployed peripheral configuration file.
A configuration tool for automatically updating a configuration file pointer entry in a Java archive (JAR) file comprising:
- means for generally continuously listening for an event signifying deployment of a peripheral configuration file associated with said pointer entry;
- and
- means responsive to said event for automatically updating the pointer entry so that said pointer entry points to said deployed peripheral configuration file.
