[jboss-user] [JBoss Web Services] - specify handlerchain.xml outside of jar

Matt Wringe [http://community.jboss.org/people/mwringe] created the discussion "specify handlerchain.xml outside of jar" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/586783#586783 -------------------------------------------------------------- Is there anyway to specify the handlerchain.xml file out of the jar which contain the interface classes? I have an interface class within the WEB-INF/classes folder of my war. If I place a handlerchain xml file within the classes folder and specify it with the @HandlerChain(file="../../handlerchain.xml") then it gets picked up. But if I place it within the WEB-INF/conf directory, then I can't access it (file="../../../WEB-INF/conf/handlerchain.xml" will result in an index out of bounds error). Using JBoss 5.1.0.GA Since I don't know what the exact absolute file path where this is going to potentially be deployed, I don't believe I can use file="file://..." Is there some other way I can specify the handlerchain.xml file outside of the annotations? I would ideally like to have this configuration file located in an ear somewhere and not within a jar or war. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/586783#586783] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
