Hi I'm wanting to store a config file for my J2ee app, somewhere on a
tomcat server possibly inside the
conf/ directory so that I can update this config file without having to
redeploy the j2ee app every time a change is made.
I've been told I can use JNDI to access this file, but I can't seem to
find any examples or documentation on how I can do this.
I would appreciate any help, or suggestions.
So far I can access the file with this code:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
try {
Context ctx = new
InitialContext(prop);
// look up context for
name
//env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"file:C:\\confluence\\confluence-2.5.1-std\\conf");
File f =
(File)ctx.lookup("/confluence/confluence-2.5.1-std/conf/test.txt");
catch {...}
My problems are:
1. The commented line
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"file:C:\\confluence\\confluence-2.5.1-std\\conf");
it says in examples that this should set the dir to look in to the conf
dir but if i change the lookup value to just test.txt it cannot find it.
2. Can I somehow set the context to look into the conf directory of Tomcat
without hard coding the path, as the path could change or be different on
different machines??
