Reading text file in classpath and web app 2004-01-29 - By Andi Reinbrech
Back
Hi, I have an Axis web application, which calls a 3rd party API.
This API opens up a text file, emapi.cfg, which needs to be a) on the
CLASSPATH and b) readable. I know web apps aren't supposed to open IO
files, but this is unfortunately something I can't do anything about, as
Iona Orbix/CORBA insists on this config file.
I eventually got it working with the Tomcat shipped with the JWSDP1-3, after
putting the text file in the bin\ directory, but this does not work for
Tomcat 5.
I have changed Tomcat's setclasspath.bat to include the path to this file,
but it keeps on exiting with a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException 
Tomcat 5 ALWAYS gives this stupid exception. The older version of Tomcat
with JWSDP1-3 at least gave the exception description.
I have no idea where to start looking - I have:
1) Changed the .policy file
2) Copied emapi.cfg *everywere*, bin\, WEB-INF, classes, common, shared,
lib, endorsed and nothing works
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andi
