Unable to read property file.

[shekhark]

Hi,
I am working on one web application in which i want to retrieve values from property files which are present outside of the application i.e on system drive.
but while doing this i am facing the problem.Interestingly if i put property files at class path location then application works properly.
I am using resin server 3.0.23 and spring MVC architecture with spring 2.5.4 jars.i am also tried it on resin upgraded version of resin 4.0.9. there also i am getting the same problem.

Is there any compatibility issue of resin server for above query or If there is any other way to solve this issue?

please suggest.

thanks.

How do you retrieve the properties?

With this

  <bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="location">
      <value>file:my_full_path/my_file_name.properties</value>
    </property>
  </bean>

it will definitely work, unless there are read restrictions on the file installed on disk (which by the way is resolved by a good ole chmod +r filename)
