How to access files in a sar deployed via VFS

mmusgrov Jun 27, 2008 2:32 PM

I am tying to get our JBossTS tools swing app running on AS5. An intern had it working on JBossAS 4.2 by packaging it in a sar. The code expects the sar to be exploded so that it can use java.io.File, java.util.jar.JarFile etc to read in its' target config.

What is the best way to port this code so that it works with the VFS abstraction?

I would need more info for this.
Post some code or explain better what exactly you need.

But it should be pretty straight fwd - VFS has a very simple (but powerful) API.

This has nothing to do with VFS.

Assuming you have an MBean with configuration files at the root of the .sar, you should be able to get to them with from the MBean class using:
// locate xyz.sar/file.cfg InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("file.cfg");

I suppose this will work for both packed/unpacked
