Properties file outside .EAR file

[lakkur]

Hi,

This question was actually answered in an other thread but i got an error when trying to implement it. Below are the details.

I am basically trying to get the ${jboss.server.dir} but got error saying that the jboss.server.dir could not be resolved.

My idea is to access the properties file outside war file but for testing purpose i am trying to read the jboss server directory to check if the path is fetched. i wrote a simple pojo class and passed the jboss.server.dir param in the constrcutor arg and just printing it to see if it works. i also set the systemPropertiesMode=2 to always ready the properties from the system properties. but i am getting error.

am i doing anything incorrect?

thank you

Have you actually tried to System.out the property from your test class, just to see if the property is actually there at all?

Hi Karl..

great pointer...i did a system.out.println for jboss.server.dir and i got null as output.. So how should i go about this now.. when should the jboss.server.dir be set.

Thanks

I'm sorry, thats as far as my JBoss knowledge stretches . Atleast you know the property just isn't set, Spring config is fine. I guess my next stab would be jboss forums, manuals, etc....

Thanks Karl.. Actually the key was wrong. I got the complete list of jboss keys from this link

Appreciate your help..
