" Accessing a file from service Class "

[renjith kalappurackal <re...@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,
 
I have a problem facing while try to read a file from a web services that is packaged as aar.
My application  structure is as follows
 
The server I am using is jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24.
And I wrote code to access file in my local machine as below in lets say Converter.java.
 
MessageContext ctx = MessageContext.getCurrentMessageContext();
AxisService asrv = ctx.getAxisService();
fin = (FileInputStream) asrv.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(xml)
 
Where xml being the name of the file lets say (myconfig.xml) And I placed this file in axis2/WEB-INF/classes. And put converter.java in a jar file in C:\jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24\tomcat-4.1.x\shared\lib.
And I deployed my services in axis2.war and placed axis2.war in C:\jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24\server\default\deploy\webapps.
 
This solution worked fine in local environment.
 
But when I moved the solution to Linux server it failed becuase of NullPointerException in
AxisService asrv = ctx.getAxisService();
 
    The structure of server is different being Converter.class in shared/lib directory of /home/jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24/tomcat-4.1.x/shared/lib. but axis2 is deployed as exploded form under /home/jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24/tomcat-4.1.x/webapps/mydomain/ and this erro is happening whenI tried to access my config file that is in /home/jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24/tomcat-4.1.x/webapps/mydomain/axis2/WEB-INF/clasess/myconfig.xml from my service class (let say MyService.class) in AAR that 
/home/wpape/jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24/tomcat-4.1.x/webapps/commence/erpsync/axis2/WEB-INF/services/myAAR.aar.          
         
   This error is happening when MyService.classs after accessing Converter.class in shared/lib try to get the messageContext. 
   
   I think I did somethign terrible wrong here. Could anyone tell me the best way to access this myconfig.xml in /home/jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24/tomcat-4.1.x/webapps/mydomain/axis2/WEB-INF/clasess/ directory from a class that is placed in a jar in shared/lib that is being called by my service class in AAR.

   
  Thanks in advance,
  Renjith

the war task should include any/all files (include myconfig.xml) to be referenced
then any deploy tasks should un-war or decompress the files (including myconfig.xml) to the deployment folder which would be
either 
WEB-INF/lib
or
WEB-INF/classes
