[configuration] Properties files in jars

[Grant Ingersoll <GS...@syr.edu>]

Hi,

I am using the commons-configuration-1.0.  I would like to specify a
property file located in a JAR file.  The following property declaration
_does_  work:

<properties
fileName="jar:file:///c:/myPath/myJar.jar!/my.properties"/>

However, I would like to specify a relative path to the JAR file
instead of a full path (as other developers on the project may not have
the file in the same path).  I have tried a variety of combinations, but
none seem to work.  

Can anyone shed some light on this?  Is it possible to specify a
relative path for JAR files like this?  The JAR file is in the
classpath, if that matters.

Thanks,
Grant Ingersoll

ConfigurationFactory can load property files from classpath. Did you try

   <properties fileName="/my.properties"/>  ?

A couple of steps are performed to resolve the file: It is checked 
whether a full URL or an absolute or relative file name are provided. If 
this fails, the classpath is searched for the specified file.
