Steve Brewin commented on JAMES-1353: ------------------------------------- A simple workaround would be to create a symlink on the file system to redirect the ../conf directory to the desired location. A James specific solution might be to modify the code to process a properties file (eg: james.properties) containing override locations. This would be loaded from the classpath. Contributions welcome. > Make configuration prefix configurable in ConfigurationProviderImpl > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-1353 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1353 > Project: JAMES Server > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Spring Container > Affects Versions: 3.0-beta3 > Reporter: Imran M Yousuf > Priority: Minor > Labels: patch > > I have been trying to run Apache James with default configuration from within > a Java "main" method in a Maven Repo. After progressing with keeping > configurations in classpath (spring context xmls) and file system (rest of > the conf files from distribution placed in ../conf/ dir relative to current > working dir) successfully.Now I tried changing the paths and successfully did > so in the context xml. Then I stumbled across the following exception: > org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: Unable to load > configuration for component mailetcontainer.processors > at > org.apache.james.container.spring.lifecycle.ConfigurationProviderImpl.getConfiguration(ConfigurationProviderImpl.java:144) > at > org.apache.james.container.spring.lifecycle.ConfigurationProviderImpl.afterPropertiesSet(ConfigurationProviderImpl.java:90) > at > org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1477) > at > org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1417) > After looking into the code I saw the following file where configuration > prefix is hard coded to - 'file://conf/'. > http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.james/james-server-lifecycle-spring/3.0-beta3/org/apache/james/container/spring/lifecycle/ConfigurationProviderImpl.java#ConfigurationProviderImpl.getConfiguration%28java.lang.String%29 > I want to make it configurable so that it can be changed if and as required. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
