MainDeployer getting absolute path of deployed package

[eltorio]

I need in an ejb to locate my deployed package...

I made an EAR package containing an xxxAppEJB.jar and xxxApp.war
the ejb compute hash of files included in the xxxApp.war.

remote clients ask for an hash specifying the final URL of the file ex: http://server/xxxApp/file.data
the ejb return the hash of file.data if client is ok it downloads file.data

actually my ejb search in $jboss_home/server/servername/tmp/deploy/tmp[MAX]xxxApp.ear-contents/xxxApp.war/

I'm quite sure with the jboss API it is possible for an ejb where physically it was deployed...

Can anyone can help me?

The starting point is the MainDeployer (jboss.system:service=MainDeployer). From this MBean you can find out everything about your deployments. Check out the http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=FAQJBossJMX to find out how to call an MBean.

In general, though, it looks strange what you are doing with those files. Usually, we access files inside .wars, .jars, etc. as resources (Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader.getResource("whateverdir/whateverfile"))...

Thanks for your answer,
Why didn't access the source package? Because I didn't know to access resources in a war within an ear. I'm looking around you're right it is better.

I'm now connected to MainDeployer service it is easy, but i don't find the temp place.
is it something as jboss.server.temp.... ?
Thanks

The .war should be able to access its own resources. It seems to me you need to redesign your application.

In any case, MainDeployer maintains DeploymentInfo objects, that point to a local url in ./tmp. You really need to see the jboss sources to understand what's going on there. Be warned, though, those are mostly internal implementation details, that often change...

Thanks a lot it works well, for me it is magic!
when i call

URL currentFile = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("file.data");
currentFile.toString();

from my ejb the url answer is
file:/xxxxx/jboss/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp32294xxxApp.ear-contents/xxxApp.war/file.data

Thanks again

You try in such way:

URL url = ((UnifiedClassLoader)this.getClass().getClassLoader()).getURL();
