I use external configuration file just because of the reason you mentioned, "I am not sure I like this because different machines/servers need different properties". And I created a static class that reads in the key=value pairs from the file and store in memory as long as the contains stays running.

I found out (the hard way) that I could place this file in the ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin directory, presumably because it is from there we run the server. It shouldn't stay there of course, and further we need it within the client too. I know we could use some property mechanism within ejb-jar.xml, but I cannot figure out how to get this with XDoclet and I am not sure I like this because different machines/servers need different properties. Is there a Right (tm) way to do this? -- Jon Haugsand, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Norges Bank, <http://www.norges-bank.no> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
