How to reference custom files in an ESB deployment?

[dbuttery]

Hi all,

   I am looking to deploy a custom file with an ESB that will need to be read by the ESB during processing.

   My question has two parts:

   1) Where should this custom file live in the deployment?   Should it be a sibling to the jms-service.xml and properties-service.xml files?  -OR- Should it be bundled in the .esb itself?  -OR- somewhere else?

    2) How is the file then referenced in code such that I can open it and read its contents in my ESB action? 

Thanks!

Update...

I think I figured this out.

1) I am placing my custom file directly in the esbcontent folder.

2) I then use getClass().getResource("/filename").getFile() to obtain the File reference.  The "/" in the filename allows for the path to be relative to the esbcontent folder.

Voila!  

Any better examples/methods out there?

Thanks,

-Dennis

Here's two examples of how it's done within ESB (look for scriptPath) :
