Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(....) null

[choonny]

Hi,

I am getting a null resource even after adding the custom configuration folder in the module directory.

All I am trying to do in my code is this:

URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("settings/" + <sName> + "/" + <fileName>);

In JBOSS 5 or 6, the code is able to get the files in the following folder structure:

<jboss installation>\server\<servername>\settings\<sname>\<fileName>

Below are what I have in my custom modules:

modules\com\<companyname>\configuration\props

modules\com\<companyname>\configuration\props\settings

modules\com\<companyname>\configuration\props\settings\<sName>

modules\com\<companyname>\configuration\props\settings\<sName>\<fileName>

modules\come\<companyname>configuration\module.xml

Apology, I accidentally submit it withouth providing the full explanation.

Anyway...this is what I have in my module.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.<companyname>.configuration">

  <resources>

    <resource-root path="props"/>

  </resources>

</module>

This is how my jboss-deployment-structure.xml file looks like:

<jboss-deployment-structure>

   <deployment>

        <dependencies>

          <module name="com.<companyname>" slot="configuration" />

        </dependencies>

    </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

Any idea how to get it to work?

Thanks,

Juniana

You have specified a slot in your jboss-deployment-structure.xml file, but there isn't a slot specified in your module definitition.

Stephen, I don't think I need to specify the slot in module definition.

[nickarls]

No, but then you shouldn't have slot="configuration" either

[choonny]

Nicklas, my slot is configuration. That's where my module definition is.

looking how the jsf 1.2 impl is defined, I would try

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.<companyname>" slot="configuration">

depending on the structure of your app, the Context class loader may not have visibility to the resource file.  Can you try a classloader from an application class that are in the same module of the target resource file? 

MyApplicationClass.class.getClassLoader.getResource("a/b/foo.txt");

[choonny]

I can't use the application class to get the resource because this code is inside the framework. Thus, the use of Thread.getContextClassLoader.

I was reading this article specifically about TCCL but it didn't really give me the sample code solution on how to get it to work.
