cannot load app config file from etc directory

[yihfeng <yh...@gmu.edu>]

Greetings,

I am using serviceMix 4.2 with cxf, and having an issue of separating an
application configuration file   "xxx.properties" from a bundle jar file
"yyy.jar".

The code/bundle works fine if I have the xxx.properties within the bundle
itself using the following spring bean configuration: (using classpath)


         <bean id="configLoader"
	
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
		<property name="location">
                    <value>classpath:xxx.properties</value>
		</property>
	</bean>



However, I got "file not found" error when I moved the "xxx.properties" file
to $SERVICEMIX_HOME/etc from the bundle "yyy.jar" with the same spring bean
configuration above.  (somehow "$SERVICEMIX_HOME/etc" cannot be recognized
as part of classpath) 



The bundle would work fine if I used the following spring bean
configuration: (instead of using classpath, file with the absolute path is
used)

<bean id="configLoader"
	
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
		<property name="location">
                      <value>
file:/Users/yihfeng/apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-02-00/etc/xxx.properties
                      </value>
		</property>
	</bean>
	

Is this ONLY way to read a configuration file outside of a bundle under
serviceMix 4.2?


Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Freeman, for the advices. IT WORKS with the following:

<osgix:cm-properties id="xxxProps" persistent-id="xxx">
    </osgix:cm-properties>
<ctx:property-placeholder properties-ref="xxxProps" />

No, this isn't the preferred way to use property place holder in SMX 4.2
As Servicemix 4.2 is based on OSGi, so you should use OSGi style  
property place holder in your beans.xml and ConfigAdmin Service to  
load/set properties from/to property files in $SMX4_HOME/etc folder.

Actually we have a camel-osgi example shipped with kit exactly shows  
how to do it, you need take a look at that example, README.txt  
explains how it works.
