I'm trying to read deployment specific information from a properties file in my wildfly configuration folder. I tried this:
@Singleton
@Startup
public class DeploymentConfiguration {
protected Properties props;
@PostConstruct
public void readConfig() {
props = new Properties();
try {
props.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("my.properties"));
} catch (IOException e) {
// ... whatever
}
}
But apparently this is not working since the configuration folder is not in the classpath anymore. Now I can't find an easy way to do it. My favorite would be something like this:
@InjectProperties("my.properties")
protected Properties props;
The only solution I found on the web so far involves making my own OSGi module, but I believe there must be an easier way to do it (one without OSGi!). Can anyone show me how?
If you want to explicitly read a file from the configuration directory (e.g. $WILDFLY_HOME/standalone/configuration
or domain/configuration
) there's a system property with the path in it. Simply do System.getProperty("jboss.server.config.dir");
and append your file name to that to get the file.
You wouldn't read it as a resource though, so...
String fileName = System.getProperty("jboss.server.config.dir") + "/my.properties";
try(FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileName)) {
properties.load(fis);
}
Then the file would be loaded for you.
Also, since WildFly doesn't ship with OSGi support anymore, I don't know how creating an OSGi module would help you here.
