using properties in flowscript

[Marco Westermann <Ma...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I try to use a property from a file in flowscript. At the moment I have 
the following code which actually works:

function __getProperty(propertyName) {
     var props = new java.util.Properties();
     props.load(new java.io.FileInputStream("D:\\qsf.properties"));
     var prop = props.getProperty(propertyName);
     return prop;


the problem is the D:\\qsf.properties as this is a fixed dir and I'd 
like to have it relative to the install-location of coccon.
How could I find out the install location of cocoon?

Important is, that the configuration file should be outside the cocoon 
application war.

btw: I use cocoon 2.1

thanks Marco

As an alternative to worrying about where the container happens to store the
application when you install it, so you can put the property file relative
to it, why not use a jvm system property to supply the property file's
location?
Or a resource-env-ref lookup?

Andy.
