Hello,

I have a Java application running on JBoss application server. The JBoss instance name is different in development, UAT and production regions.

jboss\server\app_d\KPMapp
jboss\server\app_uat\KPMapp
jboss\server\app_p\KPMapp

Is it possible to get the current isntance name or path using Java code within the application? I need to know the path for some special logic but I don't want to hardcode the path for each environment. Appreciate any suggesions.

Thanks much.

Dilip ,

Do you mean the pwd or cwd of the class file which is actually running. may be try getting the results from System.getProperty(user.dir) . Look for other properties as well which might help you.
SystemClass
PS: i haven't tried it yet. let us know if that works.

You can make use of a .properties file to accomplish the same. You have to make use of java.util.Properties class for reading the .properties file.

The system property jboss.server.home.dir contains the location of the server configuration directory: "jboss_home/server/xxx"
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
