[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - web.xml with external content ( External entities ).

hello everyone! I try to define some external entities in the web.xml in order to use some defult values in one other xml that is stored in server\default\conf\config.xml. I achieve this, with the below declaration: web.xml | <!DOCTYPE web-app | PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" | "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"[ | <!ENTITY config SYSTEM "file:/C:/jboss/server/default/conf/config.xml"> | ]> | | <web-app> | &config; | ... | </web-app> | The problem is the absolute path. When you have many jboss AS with different setup properties, like: | jboss AS 1: C:/jboss/ | jboss AS 2: D:/jboss/ | jboss AS 3: F:/AS/jboss | the absolute paths are big trouble. (this solution is ignored) | | The other solution is the relative path: | | | <!DOCTYPE web-app | | PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" | | "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"[ | | <!ENTITY config SYSTEM "../config.xml"> | | ]> | | | but it is not so good, because the external xml (config.xml) must be inside the war application. (this solution is ignored) | | The third solution is to create an other application (config-app) that contains the config.xml. | | | <!DOCTYPE web-app | | PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" | | "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"[ | | <!ENTITY security-constraints SYSTEM "http://localhost:8080/config-app/config.xml""> | | ]> | | but the problem is that the application config-app can't start because the application1 try to get the file conf.xml. The server goes on waiting state. (this solution is ignored) | | Could you help me to find an other acceptable solution? | | Thanks in advance! | John | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4181218#...
