NX: System.getProperty from GUIController

[Vivian Chai]

Hello! I am reading the sun certified java developer exam with J2se 1.4 by Mehran Habibi. In the GUIController class, there is

this.connectionString=System.getProperty("sampleproject.hostname"); 

But I can't find out where the value referenced by "sampleproject.hostname" is. Could anybody tell me where it is located? How did you get the hostname from that statement? Thanks a lot.

I think that's a property you need/can set by yourself.

Hi,
In Ch. 8, when you run the sampleproject in network mode, you have to specify the hostname and use the following command (p. 327):
> java -Dsampleproject.hostnmae=Bertrand - jar sampleprojec.jar
You can see where you can set the value of sampleproject.hostname from. Hope I have answered your question.
Cheeers,
Michael
