I am working on J2EE (Message Driven Beans) and Weblogic 10.3 and I am totally new to both of these. I am trying to read a properties file within a Message Driven Bean file. When I call a function which reads this properties file, I get the following error:

Here is the Java code:
@MessageDriven(
messageListenerInterface = javax.jms.MessageListener.class,
name = "MdbA",
mappedName = "qA",
activationConfig = {
@ActivationConfigProperty(
propertyName = "connectionFactoryJndiName",
propertyValue = "connectionFactoryV"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(
propertyName = "destinationType",
propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(
propertyName = "destinationJndiName",
propertyValue = "qA"
)})
public class MdbA implements MessageListener {
private static int fileCount = 0;
private String[] aryReadingType;
private long sleepMs;
private String persistenceDirectory;
private String tomcatServerInstance;
private String tomcatStatusScript;
private String readingsProcessorInstance;
private String logServiceURL;
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MdbALIreadings.class.getName()); // log4j logger
/**
* Default constructor.
*/
public MdbALIreadings()
{
System.out.println("In onMessage of MdbALIreadings as of " + new Date());
setProperties(); // fails if I call this function here
}
/**
* @see MessageListener#onMessage(Message)
*/
public void onMessage(Message message)
{
.
.
.
setProperties(); // fails if I call this function here
}
private void setProperties() {
.
.
.
try {
date = new Date();
fis = new FileInputStream("ReadingsProcessor.properties");
properties.load(fis);
}
If I do not call the setProperties() function anywhere in this file, it does not fail.
Any thoughts about why I cannot read a file within a Message Driven Bean? What causes the entire server to fail?
Your “error” isn’t an error, it’s a thread dump. It doesn’t show an error at all.
Your FileInputStream is failing because “ReadingsProcessor.properties” is not in the current working directory. What is your current working directory? Who knows, it’s unspecified and WLS can put it anyplace it pleases (which is likely not someplace you expect).
You might have better luck finding someplace handy in your deploy that is on the classpath and using a class loaders getResourceAsStream method to load your property file. Where that is, I can’t say either — I don’t know what you’re deploying, or how it’s deployed, and I don’t know the standard directories that WLS may put on the classpath. You can always add your own directory to the containers classpath and stick the property file in there.
