Re: loading resources from service archive?

[Anthony Bull]

Hey Steve, in my services, when I load a resource using the classloaders, the classloader I have to use is different depending on whether or not the .aar is exploded or not. Additionally its worth naming your log 4j file specifically to your service, instead of having a generic "log4j.properties", as I've found it conflicts with .jar files in the WEB-INF/lib that also have the same named file in them.  E.g. my user-service would have a log4j properties file named "user-service-log4j.properties". e.g to load resources out of .aar file/exploded file InputStream input = AuthenticationHandler.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( "service.properties"); if ( input == null) {     // Loading from an .aar file, so have to use parent class loader!     input = AuthenticationHandler.class.getClassLoader().getParent().getResourceAsStream( "service.properties"); }        cheers, let us know if it works for you, so future readers of the archive can try it out.

That's where the the code I tried came from. My code is different only because the examples don't specify how to get msgCtx . Maybe this is obvious to those experienced with Axis. Am I doing that correctly for the service implementation class? - Steve -- Anthony ------------------------------------- Anthony Bull Senior Developer Black Coffee Software Ltd PO Box 10-192 The Terrace Wellington, New Zealand [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph +64 4 472 8818 Fax +64 4 472 8811 ------------------------------------- www.bcsoft.co.nz --------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential or privileged information, and is intended for use only by the addressee, or addressees.
