Filename:service_ws.xml <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"; xmlns:wsa="http://cxf.apache.org/ws/addressing"; xmlns:cxf="http://cxf.apache.org/core"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/core http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/core.xsd http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd";> <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"> <property name="location"> <value>${jboss.server.config.url}/props/myprops.properties</value> </property> </bean> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" /> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" /> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" /> <bean id="dbConnection" class="a.b.c.DBConnection"> <property name="jdbcDriver" value="${one.two.jdbc.driver}"/> <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${one.two.jdbc.url}"/> <property name="jdbcUser" value="${one.two.jdbc.user}"/> <property name="jdbcPwd" value="${one.two.jdbc.password}"/> </bean> and so on... You see, the properties file 'myprops.properties' is accesible over the predefined JBOSS property '${jboss.server.config.url}'. But the use of the JBOSS property is of course optional. Any valid path suffices. After the property file is read, the property values are directly usable for initialising your beans, i.e. : <property name="jdbcDriver" value="${one.two.jdbc.driver}"/> The above file is referred to in web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"; xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"; id="WebService" version="2.5"> <display-name>WebService</display-name> <description>WebService</description> <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>WEB-INF/service_ws.xml</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>webAppRootKey</param-name> <param-value>WebService</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class> org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener </listener-class> </listener> <listener> <listener-class> org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener </listener-class> </listener> <servlet> <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> So during startup the whole mess is activated...
