Heres the code, sorry it uses Class.getResource and not class.getResourceAS | static | { | try | { | Class class1 = (new ProjectRootClass()).getClass(); | URL url = class1.getResource("ProjectRootClass.class"); | String s = url.toString(); | System.out.println((new StringBuilder()).append("ProjectRootClass: Probe URL is ").append(s).toString()); | theProjectRoot = s.substring(s.indexOf("file:") + 5, s.lastIndexOf("/WEB-INF/")); | System.out.println((new StringBuilder()).append("ProjectRootClass: The project root was detected at ").append(theProjectRoot).toString()); | } | catch(Throwable throwable) | { | System.err.println("ProjectRootClass: Initialisation failed"); | throwable.printStackTrace(); | theProjectRoot = ""; | } | } The code works out where the root directory of the war file is and from here uses the root to find the config.properties but because it loads the class from the work directory and not the tmp directory it wont find the properties file. anonymous wrote : | I noticed you are using 5.0 beta2. Have you tried your app in 4.2.x? Does it work there? The reason I ask is because the deployer in beta2 is broken in so many ways, in which case you might have been lucky enough to find another way that it is broken. | I will download 4.2.x and will post my findings later today.
