how to load property file outside of the webapplication in Jboss server?

[rkadupuk]

I created a property file and placed it inside a jar file and changed the classpath of the jboss server. (opened run.bat and set CLASSPATH variable)

I could able to see the updated classpath when I do run --help at command prompt.

the JBOSS CLASSPATH contains:jboss_home\bin\run.jar;custom_jar_home\serverconfig.jar

From my web application I did like this.

ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("serverconfig.properties").getPath()

continue...

it is throwing null pointer exception...

but when i do the following it is working

System.out.println(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("log4j-debug.properties").getPath());

where log4j-debug.properties is inside the run.jar

Similary  I tried with ResourceBundle. It is working for the props inside the run.jar file only.

At present I am placing the properties file inside the /server/conf/ folder and changed the property-server.xml and getting the properties using System.getProperty("");

But my question is why the property file inside the run.jar is available but not the property file from the custom lib.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
