Hi -
We have a web app that gets distributed in a war file to a tomcat
4.0x server. One of the things in the war file is a configuration file
for the app. This is an XML file that we open as a resource (using
getResourceAsStream()) in our main servlet init() method. So far, so
good. But, we need a way to override this file so that we can make
config changes without redistributing the entire application. If we
don't use a war file, we can just put the override file (using the same
name) in a directory that is earlier in the class path. But we would
like to keep the war file, since it does make distribution a bit easier.
Any ideas on how to make this work?
FYI, the exact call we use to open the config file is InputStream
in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(configFile);
TIA,
Bryan
