One option is to store your file URLs, etc., in JNDI. You could write a
custom MBean to read the localised properties from a file at system
startup and load them into JNDI. Your app then just looks up the values
from JNDI at runtime.
The service.xml for your MBean might look something like:
<server>
<classpath codebase="lib" archives="mystartup.jar"/>
<mbean code="MyMBeanClass" name="mystuff:service=MyConfig">
<attribute name="ConfigFile">/somedir/myconfig.xml</attribute>
<depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>
</mbean>
</server>
Where "MyMBeanClass.class" is packaged in mystartup.jar. There's a
'depends' on the JBoss JDNI service, to ensure JNDI is available before
your MBean tries to load anything.
