Need to read from a file outside the EAR, but not from the default jboss.server.data.dir

streety Jul 29, 2013 10:08 AM

Our complete project is kept as a separate package which is having its own standalone.xml. Now I need to put some .txt file in that folder which would be read during runtime. I know how to use the default server config and data locations such as jboss.server.data/config.dir, but I cannot use it as per project specifications.

Thanks in advance.

define your URI in system properties in standalone.xml.

Here is an example:

<server xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:1.4">
    <extensions>
        ...
    </extensions>

    <system-properties>
        ...
        <property name="ybxiang.forum.backrest.script.path" value="D:\\develop\\projects\\javaarm\\backup_all.bat"/>
        ...

Now you can get it by java code:
System.getProperty("ybxiang.forum.backrest.script.path");

You can change "ybxiang.forum.backrest.script.path"'s value at any time.
