I write with minimal IDE tools - so I don’t think that is the issue. My
understanding is that this can be accomplished using standar web.xml
directives. For example, Cayenne (vintage version) allowed
<context-param>
<param-name>cayenne.configuration.path</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config/cayenne-files</param-value>
</context-param>
The new methodology appears to have changed, (based on the brief comments in
the docs). I am simply trying to find out how to make a similar entry into the
web.xml.
If this is possible, then it should not be that difficult to post an example of
the new method. I can’t imagine this is that hard to configure. However, if
it is not possible, then I will just put the files in the top level classes
directory.
Thanks
