Let me be more specific... The code is something like this String propertyUrl = "url/myURLFilePprocessor"; ic = new InitialContext(); java.net.URL url = (java.net.URL) ic.lookup(propertyUrl); if (url != null) { propertyFile = url.getPath(); logger.info(" PROPERTY FILE NAME IS : " + propertyFile); } In Websphere there is way to create the url resource wherein you can define the file location for the url jndi...how do u do it in jBoss?
