1. Procure the rice-api and rice-impl JARs and all transitive dependencies using either of the following methods:
   • Download JARs and all transitive dependencies from the Kuali Rice website
   • Download ucd-rice-standalone-server WAR from Artifactory. This WAR contains all dependencies.
   • Add rice-api and rice-impl as Maven dependencies in your project.

     Info
     We exclude the Oracle JDBC driver since it is a commercial product and not available on any public Maven repositories.

Declaring Properties

We use a simple XML configuration to declare properties as key-value pairs. For example:

<config>
    <!-- LDAP Settings -->
    <param name="ldap.url">ldaps://ldap.ucdavis.edu</param>
    <param name="ldap.base">ou=People,dc=ucdavis,dc=edu</param>
    <param name="ldap.pool">true</param>
    <param name="ldap.user">uid=my_ldap_uid,ou=Special Users,dc=ucdavis,dc=edu</param>
    <param name="ldap.password">my_ldap_password</param>
<config>

Spring Property Configuration

Kuali Rice uses Spring's PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to make parameters properties available as to Spring tokens.

<bean id="config" class="org.kuali.rice.core.config.spring.ConfigFactoryBean">
    <property name="configLocations">
        <list>
            <value>classpath:edu/sampleuucdavis/embeddedmyapp/config/sample-embedded-client-config.xml</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="configProperties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
    <property name="targetObject" ref="config" />
    <property name="targetMethod" value="getProperties" />
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="properties" ref="configProperties" />
</bean>
