Hi Dima,
The name can be hardcoded in your code.
Let say you have a class com.mycomp.myprj.MyClass and
inside some meothod of this class you call
this.getClass().getResourceAsSteam("MyConfig.xml");
As a result of this call JVM will search you Java
class path for the file com.mycomp.myprj.MyClass.
So in this case you should keep your configuration
file in the same directory as your MyClass file.
If you used getResourceAsStream("/MyConfig.xml"). The
file will be looked for in the root of your classpath.
So it can be in the classes directory of you WAR or
anywhere in the class path for you execution
environment.
BTW I don't see big problem if conf. file is part of
the WAR. After deployment all containers I know expand
WAR into filesystem, so user can go and modify
configuration they want. More over I think that
package configuration file into WAR is the way to go
because otherwise you have to send user to files- WAR
and config file with instruction "Please put the
config in such and such location ...".
Regards Alexi
