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?
