Hi,

I'm trying to load a configuration file (namely SolverConf.xml) into XmlSolver with the code below:

XmlSolverConfigurer configurer = new XmlSolverConfigurer();

configurer.configure(SOLVER_CONFIG);

Solver solver = configurer.buildSolver();

If I bundle SolverConf.xml file with the application .jar file, then using SOLVER_CONFIG as /path/to/xml/file/SolverConf.xml works fine.

But I want to use SolverConf.xml outside the .jar, so I can easiliy edit it, but I don't know what path should I pass to it.

I know it's a Java related question, but I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem when configuring drools planner. (I've asked on stackoverflow, but none of the answers worked for me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7718807/can-getresourceasstream-find-files-outside-the-jar-file)

(Supposing my .jar is in /some/path and the SolverConf.xml will be on /some/path/conf for example)

Thanks,
