Where in the jar should I put the jndi.properties file?

Hi all,

My jar-packaged application needs to have jndi properties. If I hardcode
them or use VM commandline arguments it works.

According to docs it should be possible to use a jndi.properties file
that is enclosed in the jar. Where in the jar should I put the
jndi.properties file? (or what exactly is the classpath in a jar?)

TIA

Joost

Hi,

you can put it anywhere in the JAR and simply call
getClass().getResourceAsStream("/path") in your class to retrieve an input
stream. Note that if the string starts with a slash, "path" needs to be
relative to the root of your JAR. Otherwise, it's relative to the location
of the class file in the JAR.

Regards,
Christian

If you simply want to use the jndi by calling

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext() ;

you will have to put the jndi.properties directly in the top level of
the jar, in no subdirectory.
jndi.properties is looked for in the top level of the classpath.

hope this answeres your question.
