[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - Re: reading a file stored outside the .war

[f_marchioni]

You have a few solution which are not JBoss specific, like looking for the file in the filesystem

 try
  |   {
  |    url = new File(fileName).toURL();
  |    is = url.openStream();
  |    return is;
  |   }
  |   catch (MalformedURLException ignore)
  |   {
  |   }
  |   catch (IOException ignore)
  |   {
  |     
  |   } 

or in the current classpath:

  url =
  | Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(fileName);
  |   if (url != null)
  |   {
  |    try
  |    {
  |     return url.openStream();
  |    }
  |    catch (IOException ioe)
  |    {
  |      
  |    }
  |   }

With JBoss you have one service named "Properties MBean Service" which allows loading a property file from an available URL.
