    @Service loading resource file fails

    osnetwork

      Hi there,

       

      I was trying to implement a cache with Infinispan and the annotation @Service for making it Singleton, so in the constructor I have put something like this:

       

      ...
      manager = new DefaultCacheManager("mycache.xml"); 
      cache = manager.getCache("testCache"); 
      ...

       

      It fails on the startup of the application, it can't find the mycache.xml files.
      I have tried also with different paths like resources/mycache.xml and /mycache.xml

       

      The fact is that *properties files are loaded correctly with resources/file.properties but those are loaded after the application has been deployed.
      I suppose the problem is because the @Service is trying to load the files from different locations or in a different way. or the resources are not available until the application is deployed.

       

      Does anybody of you have experienced this problem before?

       

      Cheers,
      Luca

          Which version of JBoss AS is this? @Service is deprecated starting AS-6.0.0.M3 since we now have EJB3.1 @Singleton implemented in this version.

           

          manager = new DefaultCacheManager("mycache.xml"); 
          cache = manager.getCache("testCache"); 
          ...

           

          It fails on the startup of the application, it can't find the mycache.xml files.
          I have tried also with different paths like resources/mycache.xml and /mycache.xml

           

          The fact is that *properties files are loaded correctly with resources/file.properties but those are loaded after the application has been deployed.

           

          It all depends on where the DefaultCacheManager looks for the file. I guess it looks for the file in the classpath. So where exactly in the .jar (or .ear) is that file located. The path you posted looks more like the path in your source rather than in the binary .jar/.ear.

            The AS version is 5.1.0 GA

             

            The application is packaged as a jar. The structure is like that:

             

            -app.jar

                 - classes

                 - *xml

                 - *properties

              And can you please post the entire exception stacktrace?

                I'll post it as soon as I'll get home.
                Anyway, it was happening on the startup of the AS and the exception if I'm not wrong was a FileNotFoundException

                  ok here is the code and the stacktrace.

                   

                  try {
                       manager = new DefaultCacheManager("/cache-config.xml");
                  } catch (IOException e) {
                       log.error("Cannot load the cache configuration");
                       log.debug("Cannot load the cache configuration", e);
                  }
                  cache = manager.getCache("gametableCache");

                   

                   

                  The last line of the code is the line 35.

                   

                  Here is the stacktrace:

                    I have fixed thanks.

                     

                    The problem was in the cache.xml file

                     

                    It was failing the XSD validation due to the fact that I had:

                     

                     

                    <infinispan>

                    instead of having

                     

                    <infinispan
                        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                        xsi:schemaLocation="urn:infinispan:config:4.0 http://www.infinispan.org/schemas/infinispan-config-4.0.xsd"
                        xmlns="urn:infinispan:config:4.0">

                    now it works like a charm.
