Ok, that makes sense. I changed it to this:
public class NCNWebSvc extends AxisServletBase {
public NCNWebSvc() {
}
public String NoOperation(String xxx) {
log.info("In noop" + xxx);
return "noop was called successfully with arg " + xxx;
}
public void init() {
log.info("Calling super.init");
super.init();
try {
log.info("getResourceAsStream");
InputStream Str = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(
"/WEB-INF/NCNWebSvc.properties");
Properties P = new Properties();
P.load(Str);
passphrase = P.getProperty("Passphrase");
hostname = P.getProperty("Hostname");
portnum = P.getProperty("Portnum");
}
catch (Exception ex) {
log.info("Error reading properties file: " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
But now Java2WSDL says:

This reminded me why it was that I changed my class to not extend
AxisServlet in the first place. Is there a way around this?

Re: Where should I put properties files
Configuration files are a problem area in Java, particularly J2EE. You can:
1. Use a Preferences object (although I personally have found this quite
painful - you need to provide a UI to set up and administer your preferences
and system preferences require admin privileges on Windows).
2. Put your config file in a directory off the user's home directory. Use
System.getProperty("user.home") to retrieve the home directory and build up
the path to your file. Indicate in your documentation that the web service
must run in the context of a aprticular user.

RE: Where should I put properties files
I'm sorry, I'm still struggling with this. I've changed my
service class to extend AxisServlet and can do the getResourceAsStream, but
it always appears to return a null pointer. I've tried putting my
properties file in the JAR, and the whole Tomcat tree is positively
littered with copies (to see if the method was looking in some other
directory).
What I really would like to do is distribute my classes
in a JAR and have the properties file be somewhere else, hopefully
relative to the JAR file. Here's my class constructor:
public NCNWebSvc() throws CFException {
try {
Properties P = new Properties();
InputStream Str =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("NCNWebSvc.properties");
P.load(Str);
passphrase = P.getProperty("Passphrase");
hostname = P.getProperty("Hostname");
portnum = P.getProperty("Portnum");
}
catch (Exception ex) {
throw new CFException("Error reading properties file: " +
ex.getMessage());
}
}
I always get this back: Error reading properties file: null

I hate to be totally ignorant, but I can't seem to discover how my
web service class gets access to ServletContext. I'm sure there's
some static method in Axis that I can call, but I've just been rooting
around in the source for about two hours, to no avail.

RE: Where should I put properties files
Howdy,
This is a FAQ, you could read the archives, but here's a summary of the
two commons solutions:
- Place properties file on classpath, use the Class#getResource or
Class#getResourceAsStream method.
- Please properties file anywhere under your webapp's root, and use
ServletContext#getResource or ServletContext#getResourceAsStream.

Where should I put properties files (corrected, sorry)
I have a web service (call it XYZ) which requires a .properties file. I had
been putting it in
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\axis\services\XYZ, with the classes in
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\axis\services\WEB_INF\classes and using this to
open the properties file.
File PFile = new File("webapps" + File.separator +
"axis" + File.separator +
"services" + File.separator +
"XYZ" + File.separator + "XYZ.properties");
if (!PFile.exists())
throw new CFException("No properties file: " +
PFile.getAbsolutePath());
This works, but there are two problems:
1) If Tomcat is run as a service, I have to put the properties file in
%WINSYSDIR%\webapps\axis\services\XYZ, instead.
2) I recently ditched the classes and put XYZ.jar into
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\axis\services\WEB_INF\lib. Now, unless I hard-code
a path for the properties file (e.g., C:\XYZ.properties), the service can't
find it.
How is this issue normally handled?
