[configuration] How to load from a resource (as opposed to a file)
Hi,
<configuration>
<hierarchicalDom4j fileName="someFile.xml" />
</configuration>
looks for someFile.xml in the same place as the containing xml. Looks
good... unless the containing XML is a resource.
Possibly due to a bug on ClassLoader implementation in both Tomcat and
IBM WAS, if the containing file is in a jar file in WEB-INF/lib, and
someFile.xml is in the same package (to make it simpler) in
WEB-INF/classes/package/name, the file is not properly loaded, for
different reasons in each App server.
So the question is: Can I state something like...
filename="resource:package/name/someFile.xml" that would ultimately
resolve to the right file in the right place?
Do I have an alternative other than translating the XML into code that
creates the right Configuration objects (in a CompositeConfiguration),
but giving each the right URL I got from Class.getResource(String) ?
Thank you very much.
Antonio Fiol

Hum.. Good questions.. I think that I am more suggesting that we need to
be smarter in ConfigurationFactory..
To me, it sees like you should be using a URL to locate it. Take a looksee
at TestConfigurationUtils. So, I guess I'm saying I'm not real sure!

Hi Eric,
I am really glad the issue can be solved (and will be).
WRT the unit test, I find it a bit complicated to isolate, but I may
try to create a few classes for that. But anyway, what I would need to
know is what the expected behaviour is. In other words: what am I
supposed to have in the fileName attribute to read from a resource?
Thank you very much.

Hi..
I think, and Emmanuel, can you verify for me, that we need to change the
ConfigurationFactory to use the new file locating stuff? Right now I think
the problem is that in ConfigurationFactory.FileConfigurationFactory, the
logic for finding a file sucks.. I think the whole basePath is wrong..
Antonio, if you could send in a unit test demonstrating this, that would
really help verify that any changes we make solve your problem.
