Reading external properties file from EJB

[Lokesh Pahadi]

Hi all,

I have a requirement in which I am supposed to read Properties file from my EJB. The EJB is deployed on Web Logic server 8.1.

The problem is that I don't want to bundle my Properties file within the EJB JAR. I want to keep it outside of JAR so that we can modify it without again repackaging my EJB jar.

Where should I keep my Properties file and how should I read it from inside my EJB.

Thanks in advance!

What is wrong with repackaging your ejb jar. It is on the server and replacing it shouldn't require a restart of the server. And it is on the serverside- so the clients wouldn't notice.
