Another XML file for configuration.

[bautto]

Hello,

I would like to know if is possible to have another XML file (instead of component.xml) or another complementary file.

For example:
I would like to have a component file in web-inf and another file, complementing in meta-inf.
Is it possible?

Regards,

Guilherme Bautto

I use something like this. I have a XML Property file in my applications. I put this file in the JBOSS's conf directory. I load him using this code:

public class ConfigurationLoader {
   
    public static Configuration loadConfiguration(final String baseName) throws IOException {
       
        URL url = null;
       
        url = getResourceAsURL(baseName);
       
        final Properties properties = new Properties();
       
        if (baseName.matches("((.)*)\\.xml")) {
            properties.loadFromXML(url.openStream());
        } else if (baseName.matches("((.)*)\\.properties")) {
            properties.load(url.openStream());
        } else {
            throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Tipo de arquivo não reconhecido!");
        }
       
        return new Configuration(properties);
    }
   
    public static URL getResourceAsURL(final String resource) throws FileNotFoundException {
        final String stripped = resource.startsWith("/") ? resource.substring(1) : resource;
       
        URL url = null;
        final ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
        if (classLoader != null) {
            url = classLoader.getResource(stripped);
        }
       
        if (url == null) {
            url = ConfigurationLoader.class.getResource(stripped);
        }
        if (url == null) {
            url = ConfigurationLoader.class.getClassLoader().getResource(stripped);
        }
       
        if (url == null) {
            throw new FileNotFoundException(resource + " not found.");
        }
        return url;
    }
}
