Hi Yoav, Well of all that I know of this application is that it reads a file from a directory structure Something like com/apps/Application/sample.prop and the application is also in the same package whereas my application resides in the package com/apps/MyApp/MyService Now, this very same setup works great when I use Tomcat 3.3 but with Tomcat4.1.18 the application fails to read its property file. Any Ideas..
-Sumit 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?
