[Hibernate-devel] [DataStore] One more method to load XML mapping file

[Christian M. <vc...@cl...>]

Hi all,

I was thinking about a new method to load xml files in the datastore.
I do not like the hardcoded filename approach nor the class one( it will =
end with xml files all around java classes)

My idea is to be able to load a .jar containing all the xml files ( =
created wih ant for example at deployment time)

public void StoreJarFile(string fileName)
{
    JarFile jarFile =3D new =
JarFile((Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("file=
Name")).getFile());
    if(jarFile!=3Dnull)
    {
         Enumeration enum =3D jarFile.entries();
         while(enum.hasMoreElements())
         {
              ZipEntry z =3D (ZipEntry)enum.nextElement();
              if(z.getName().endsWith(".xml"))
                 this.storeInputStream(jarFile.getInputStream(z));       =
               =20
         }
   }
   else
        log.error("Could not find "+fileName+"in the classpath");
}


Such jar file could be in WEB-INF/classes in a web app.
Let me know what do you think about it.
