I want to have a configuration file outside my application that gets read during runtime. I have an EJB3 jar that gets deployed under my server/default/deploy. I have a class in that jar that needs to read this file. Using the JMX console, this class is part of UCL3 repo.

I *thought* if I stick the file in either server/default/lib or server/conf it would be in the CLASSPATH during executing, but a las it is not.

Can someone tell me what's the right way to do this or give an example on how to do this?

Again, EAR/CallByValue is on and this is 404GAPatch1.

Thanks!
