Hello Eric,

I'd be happy to make some contributions in return for the excellent libraries that Jakarta Commons is providing.
Once I have some time I'll have a look at it and familiarize myself with your code conventions.


Best regards,
Tarlika

Humm..   Not sure on this one...   It seems like what we should be doing is
actually loading them as a resources..  that way trying to find it is left
up to whaterver classloader is being used..   so, it shouldn't care what jar
it is in..  However, not quite sure how to do that..  patches welcome...!

I am sure you can do what you want, it seems not hard, but I'm not sure..
Worse comes to worse, skip the configurationfactory, and just do it
yourself..  but it would be nicer to just patch configurationFactory.

Subject: [Configuration] load config files from ddifferent jars


Hello,

I would like to set up a configuration factory specifying a properties
file which does not reside in the same jar as the composite
configuration .xml file.

Example:

<configuration>
    <properties fileName="application.properties"/>
    <properties fileName="/biz/prop.properties"/>
    <hierarchicalDom4j fileName="objects/business-objects.xml"/>
</configuration>

It appears that the leading slash is stripped and an attempt is made to
read biz/prop.properties from the .jar file where above .xml config
resides.

I notice there is a setBasePath() which would probably solve the problem
if all composite config files resides below the same basepath. But in my
case the various config files reside in different jar files.

Is there a way of loading the various config files from different .jar
files?
