Hi,

I have an MBean, which along with other files is deployed as a .sar file in my application. I need to setup a properties file which will be read from this MBean file. I created a custom.properties file and placed it in META-INF.

To read it, I tried the following commands:

1) this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("custom.properties")
2) ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("/META-INF/custom.properties")
3) File props = new File("/META-INF/custom.properties");

None of these seem to work, I get null in return.

I do not have to place the file in META-INF, but I did this for my web application and read it in a servlet using -
file = "/META-INF/custom.properties";
config.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(file);

and it worked.

I think the problem is that my java class cannot read the file from within the .sar file.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
