Classpath within application

[rbrush]

I'm new to Spring and I've been assigned the task of incorporating an application (which isn't a true bean - which may be part of my problem) to use activemq.

Using:
<bean id="myApp" class="my.package.MyApp" init-method="start">

does start the application. But the application uses class.getResource("/MyFile.xml");
to load various data. It fails this because it looks like the classpath used to start activemq does not seem to get down to the application.

System.out.println("Classpath = " + System.getProperty ("java.class.path"));

returns --> Classpath = C:activemq-4.0-M4\bin\../bin/run.jar

I was wondering if there was anything in Spring that would let me pass the classpath down to the application?

Thx.

Why don't you let Spring locate that resource for you?

I had a similar problem, where I needed to set the default locale of the JVM.
I had it like that:

  <bean id="localeSetter" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
    <property name="staticMethod" value="java.util.Locale.setDefault"/>
    <property name="arguments">
      <list>
        <value>en_DE</value>
      </list>
    </property>
  </bean>

you can use the same approach to set something else to the env.

"C:activemq-4.0-M4\bin\../bin/run.jar" looks a bit weird. Is the backslash after C: actually missing or is that a typo?

Resides MyFile.xml in the root of run.jar?

MyFile.xml resides in my own jar (test.jar) - run.jar is the activemq broker. I know my jar is in the initial classpath, else it wouldn't start at all.

The classpath was a bit of typo - this is copied exactly:

Classpath = C:\activemq-4.0-M4\bin\../bin/run.jar

I got a solution from the activemq forum. Had to use the full path for the class
