[ebxmlms-general] Re: MSH errors when loading in Tomcat

[Patrick Y. <kc...@cs...>]

Hi Anthony,

Can you tell me more about where you put your msh.properties.xml file? In
most cases, the exceptions are caused by the fact that the
MessageServiceHandler servlet cannot locate that property file. Normally,
the msh.properties.xml file should be filled with appropriate information,
and placed at one of the following locations:

1. The directory where you launch Tomcat (probably tomcat_home/bin)
2. Classpath (e.g. tomcat_home/webapps/msh/WEB-INF/classes)
3. Home directory of the user who launch Tomcat
4. You may specify a system property "prop.home" to point to the specific
directory holding your msh.properties.xml

Please check this and feel free to email to us for further information.

PS. I am copying this message to ebxmlms-general mailing list, I intended
to build a knowledge base there. :-)

Regards, -patrick
