Multiple application instances, with seperate scopes

[jorans]

Hi
I need to deploy two instances of my application (myApp.ear, containig myApp.war and myEjb.jar ), I use JBoss.3.2.1-Tomcat4.1.24.

The problem is that servlet/JSP's and ejb's share a property-file (application specific), through a PropertyProvider-class with static methods. The application's reads the same property-file if they are deployed in the same directory. The property-file is located at the same place as the PropertyProvider-class.

According to the "JBoss Adm&Dev (307)" a solution would be to enable EAR specific loader repository in jboss-app.xml. I tried this but it didn't change which property-file that was read:-(

What have I missed?
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can solve this problem?

I would also prefere to not have the property-file located at the same place as the PropertyProvider-class, as this makes it more difficult to maintain the files, any tips?

jboss-app.xml in myAppY.ear:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss-app
PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD J2EE Application 1.3V2//EN"
"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-app_3_2.dtd">
<jboss-app>
<loader-repository>dot.com:loader=myAppY.ear</loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

Use an ear for every application instance and for their distinct resources. Configure an own loader-repository for every ear with java2parent delegation false.
Deploy the common resources in a separate .jar without defining a loader-repository (or put them in the server/lib ;-)
That should make it.

Thanx Frito, it works now!!
I thought I defined separate loader-repositories for my EAR's, but I missed the java2parent-directive.....

In addition, I had to place my EAR's directly in the deploy directory; can only define separate loader-repositories for top-level classloaders.
