reading application startup files in JBoss 4 vs 5

created by Nilesh Thali in Beginner's Corner - View the full discussion

Hello,

We have a slightly modified configuration for our app, that worked in JBoss 4.0.0, but doesn't in JBoss 5.1.0.

We copied the "web" configuration (under JBoss5.1.0/server/web) to create our own setup.

our war file contains a web.xml that specifies a servlet and a properties file that's a parameter for the servlet at startup.

This properties file is at the top level of our JBoss instance.

e.g.

we have

JBoss5.1.0/server/myConfiguration

|-- myServer.properties

|-- deploy

      |-- myWar.war

 

myWar.war has a web.xml containing the following snippet:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>StartListener</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.sabre.common.webservices.server.ServerStartupService</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
   <param-name>startupFile</param-name>
   <param-value>myServer.properties</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

JBoss 4.0.0 had no problems finding the myServer.properties file located in myConfiguration, but JBoss 5.1.0.GA throws a "FileNotFoundException".

 

Any ideas on what we need to change to get it to work?

 

I guess the second question would be - what are other (better) ways of doing this?

 

Thanks,

Nilesh
