Is this possible in iBatis?

[Adrian Harrison]

I have an EAR (PRDApp) containing several EJB's & a single WAR file.

I have a prd.system.properties file that currently contains the data source
name iBatis use's to get a connection from a Weblogic connection pool.

i.e 

datasourcename=PRDDataSource

So my sql-map-config.xml file looks something like this - 

        <sqlMapConfig>

                <properties resource = "prd.system.properties" />

                .
                .
                <transactionManager type="EXTERNAL">
                        <dataSource type="JNDI">
                                <property name="DBFullJndiContext"
value="${datasourcename}"/>
                        </dataSource>
                </transactionManager>

This works fine but I want to use this file to contain other settings used
by other modules. So I've placed it in the App directory but changing the
line to - 

        <properties resource = "./applications/PRDApp/system.properties" />

but this produces - 

        javax.ejb.EJBException: Error in ejbCreate::
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
        .
        Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not initialize
DaoConfig.  Cause:      com.ibatis.dao.client.DaoException: Error while
configuring DaoManager.  Cause:
com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapException: There was an error while building
the SqlMap instance.  
        --- The error occurred in
./applications/PRDApp/prd.system.properties.  
        --- The error occurred while loading global properties.  
        --- Cause: com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapException: Error loading
properties.  Cause:     java.io.IOException: Could not find resource
./applications/PRDApp/prd.system.properties
        .

Is it possible to get iBatis to use this file? if so any ideas what the
resource line should be?

Many thanks
