jboss appending jndi:/localhost/ before the resource path

[anithakothandapani]

Hi

I am using jboss 5.1.0 GA with jdk 1.6.

When I use URL url = servletContext.getResource("WEB-INF/conf")  to get  an xml file from the conf folder in my war , Jboss is appending jndi:/localhost/SampleWebApp/WEB-INF/conf before the path.

Because of this, I am getting FileNotFoundException. I would like to know whether I can configure something in JBoss AS ,so that I can avoid this appending? Please help me on this regard

Please post the entire exception stacktrace. And is that the exact piece of code in your app? If not, please post the relevant snippet.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

This is the complete snippet which I am using

URL url = servletContext.getResource("WEB-INF/conf")

String confLocation = url.getPath();

InputStream is = new FileInputStream(confLocation+"/myConfig.xml");Here I am getting the FileNotFoundException ,

Since the path is appended with localhost like this  "/localhost/SampleWebApp/WEB-INF/conf/myConfig.xml"

myConfig.xml is the xml file which I want to use and it exists in the WEB-INF/conf location. /SampleWebApp is the context root of my web application

I am not sure how to prevent appending localhost before the path.

kindly help me on this regard.

Don't use FileInputStream in a server environment. Instead use :

InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/conf/myConfig.xml");
