Handling Licenses in the packaged application

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hello,

We are using Aspose.Cells to embed file in excel reports.
The application is running under linux debian OS and deployed on Jboss7.1.1 application server.

I have added following lines in one of my java class:
License lic = new License();
lic.setLicense(“Aspose.Cells.lic”);

I was not able to find easily where the license has to be dropped in order to make it works.
After a while, I see that it must be copied in the <HOME_JBOSS>/bin directory.

But I’d like to manage the license directly in the war file instead of copying it under the “bin” directory of the application server.

Is there a way to make it work in such a way? Set it as a ressource of the java project and retrieve the license from the deployment directory?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells.

Please note, license is just a text file or plain XML. You can open it in a notepad or Firefox to view its contents.

What you can do is copy this xml in a string and then convert your string into byte array and then file stream and set the license using SetLicense() method.
