Hi,
Is there somebody out there which can provide an example of how I
can load a XML config file from a jar?
The idea is to add i.e. appl.xml to a jar and call
DOMConfigurator.configure("appl.xml") within the application.
I would like to hide part of the configuration from the end-users
to avoid that they make changes to parts of the configuration.
Other ideas are welcome as well.
Another path I walked was to do the 'hidden' part within the code,
but I could find a way to add the rendering info into th
repository. So, ideas or hints on how to do that are welcome as well.
Thanks
I'll repeat the reply that I sent when you asked this on log4cxx-user:
DOMConfigurator.configure(String) gives no indication that its
parameter is treated as anything other than plain filename. So
expecting it to be used in a search within a jar file is unwarranted.
I think what you you would likely end up needing to do is to obtain
an URL for the resource using org.MyApp.MyClass.class.getResource("/
conf/MyApp.xml") and then calling DOMConfigurator(URL).
Did you have a problem with this approach? Your code should look
something like (omitting exception handling code and not checked for
syntax):
String pathInJar = "/appl.xml";
URL configURL = getClass().getResource(pathInJar);
if (configURL != null) {
DOMConfigurator.configure(configURL);
}
FYI: The URL returned from getResource() would look something like
"jar:file:///pathtojar/jarfile.jar#/appl.xml".
