How to avoid hardcoding strings in web app
0
I have a jsp+servlet web application, which runs on tomcat server. All the strings which i use are hardcoded now. If possible I want to move all the hardcoded strings to one resource file and point to particular string in jsp code. How can i do it. Is there any other way other than resource file.For example: In below switch statement, i want to remove all hardcoded strings in case statement and move to one resource file or so and point to that string in my code.
switch (request.getParameter("mode"))
case "check1":
break;
case "check2":
break;
case "active_inactive":
break;
default:
break;

you could create a class where you can store those strings, then just refer to the class whenever you want to use a string from it...

Use class named Constants for this pupose.
public class Constants
public static String CHECK_1 = "Check1";
public static String CHECK_2 = "Check2";
And use this in anywhere you want.
switch (request.getParameter("mode"))
case Constants.CHECK_1:
break;
case Constants.CHECK_2:
break;
default:
break;

Thats one way, but is there any way that i can copy all strings to an xml or any other resource file and point to it
– Vinod
Nov 12 '18 at 10:48
I'm sure that's possible. Though I do not know the exact reason for your requirement , I would not recommend such approach to store constants as it would cost you performance and management issues

Nov 12 '18 at 10:51
@Vinod You can only use constants or literals in a switch, so if you want to get those strings from a resource file, you'll need to switch to another solution (eg using a map).

@Mark Rotteveel That was just an example. I have strings which i want to move to resource file such as xml. This is my primary concern.

Nov 13 '18 at 5:44
@Vinod Then you shouldn't be asking about about your actual problem and not the switch construct, because there strings can't be externalized.
