Hi, That depends entirely on the application. Its documentation should indicate how it can be configured to read the file. Chances are for one of the following: - The app has some configuration file where you can specify the file path - The app can take a runtime CLI parameter, e.g. -DappConfigFile=... that you can use - The app uses Classloader's getResource() calls, in which case you just need to put the file in the proper place on the classpath for the app to find it.
If the app isn't well documented, do you have its source code? Or do you have support for the app that can tell you this?
