Specify location of shiro.ini with java system property?

[Dan Pritts <da...@umich.edu>]

Hi all,

I'm running a prepackaged application (apache jena fuseki) that uses 
shiro.  It places a shiro.ini file in an inconvenient place, and I'd 
like to override the location.

I've looked through the shiro web site for a while and come up empty.  I 
found documentation on how to set the location in my own java code, and 
how to set it in servlet properties if i were running under tomcat.  
Unfortunately I'm doing neither, so these aren't helpful.

Ideally there'd be something that i could add to the java command line like:

-DshiroConfigLocation=file:/etc/shiro.ini

am I missing something, or is it just not there?

thanks!

Yeah, i found that.  I believe it's running under jetty, but it's all 
prepackaged, and as you suggest I'd rather not mess with it.

And of course the Fuseki folks don't mention any ability to configure 
the location - just that by default it's plopped right in the 
application's base directory.

I think I'll just bite the bullet and install tomcat.

thanks for your help

If that app is running in a servlet container, I'm guessing they the
configure the location of the shiro.ini files via the
EnvironmentLoader:
https://shiro.apache.org/static/current/apidocs/org/apache/shiro/web/env/EnvironmentLoader.html

Otherwise it would depend on how Jena Fuseki is handling the configuration.


That said, i'm guessing you are trying to avoid messing with files
directly in the application's install directory? If so you would
likely need to chat with the Jena Fuseki folks)
