Loading a configuration file from a jar

[Omar Adobati <om...@gmail.com>]

Good Morning,

  I have developed a jar file and I need to load some configuration
parameters from a .properties file placed outside of the jar itself.

The jar file is under $cocoon/WEB-INF/lib directory and the
.properties file too.
Now, the problem is that my own class (that extends the
java.util.Properties class) can't locate the properties file.
Here is the code I'm actually using:

public ConfigUtility(){
	super();
	File configFile = new File("/nptl.im.properties");	
	try{
	  configURL = configFile.toURL();
	}catch (Exception ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
	}
		
        //do some other useful stuff
  }

I'm running cocoon 2.1.18 with tomcat 5.5.x and JDK 1.5

Thanks for your help :)

I think you should be looking in the direction of:

	import java.util.Locale;
	import java.util.MissingResourceException;
	import java.util.ResourceBundle;

	...

	Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
      try {
        	resources = ResourceBundle.getBundle(
        			"my.package.MyProperties",
        			locale);
      } catch (MissingResourceException e) { 
		...
	}

you need to put a file MyProperties.properties in a folder my/packages/
inside any jar that you put into WEB-INF/lib/.

Kind regards,
Geert
