There is an interesting problem with using the ClassLoader or the ServletContext for getting resource data: there is no way using the APIs to determine if the resource has been modified.

One workaround is to check the getRealPath() method to see if it is available and use it if it is to build a real file object which you can use to determine the last modified date. Another possibility is to specify a reload interval for the resource.

Does XWork (and/or WW2) provide either of these methods for reloading configuration resources?

Ah, I see.  That makes sense.  So, you are doing it based on the servlet
context class loader.  Kewl, glad to learn that.

You don't need to open an HTTP connection, rather you can get the InputStream directly from the servlet context:

InputStream in =
servletContext.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/xwork.xml");

I may just be confused or have missed something, but does getResource
not just give you the path relative to the doc root?  Will you then

it using http? Normally, would you not secure your web-inf from url
access(for security reasons)? Or is there another method that would
allow you to actually use File (by getting the servlets "realpath")?

getRealPath is very bad, what's so wrong with servletContext.getResource() though?

config (per servlet spec).  Honestly, classpath is usually the best

Guys,

It seems like we are having a lot of problems with finding configuration
files in the classpath etc. Also, I dislike putting configuration

files



other than .properties on the classpath. That's why I propose putting it
all
(components.xml, xwork.xml etc)under /WEB-INF directly (same as SiteMesh
for
example).


+1 from me

Mathias
