We have a J2EE app on Geronimo 2.0.2, and our config files work just fine in a jar inside the ear. But we want the config files to be in a completely separate directory. Browsing the forum, it's not clear if this is possible.

The thread "Changing application calsspath to include directory"
(http://www.nabble.com/Changing-application-calsspath-to-include- directory-tp4770139s134p4770139.html) asked what I am asking. It sounded like it would be possible to deploy some magic XML which could point to an external directory. But it sounds like
GBean had problems.

So is it possible?

I see a solution mentioned where the config files are made into a jar and separately deployed. But we don't like that. Is this the most end- user
friendly standard?

I wrote up a bit of documentation here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC21/Locating+your +application+specific+configuration+files
or
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/locating-your-application-specific- configuration-files.html

I wrote this up basically from memory and there are couple missing snippets. Corrections based on trying it out would be great.

thanks
