You'll have to subclass ResourceLocator and implement it:
/**
* Finds a collection of matching resources for a given name. The name
components must
* be separated by forward slashes.
*/
Collection<Resource> findResources(String name);
For example, The name portion could just be the file name
"cayenne-blah.xml", and your subclass could hardcode the directory path.
The logic could be copied from FilesystemResourceLocator:
File resourceFile = *new* File(root, name);
*if* (resourceFile.exists()) {
*try* {
resources.add(*new* URLResource(resourceFile
.toURI().toURL()));
}
*catch* (MalformedURLException e) {
*throw* *new* CayenneRuntimeException("Can't convert
file to URL: %s", e, resourceFile.getAbsolutePath());
}
}
Binding it using DI looks like this:
// a locator of resources, such as XML descriptors
binder.bind(ResourceLocator.*class*).to(MyResourceLocator.*class*);
binder.bind(Key.*get*(ResourceLocator.*class*, Constants.
*SERVER_RESOURCE_LOCATOR*)).to(MyResourceLocator.*class*);
