Question

I have an application deployed into Oracle Weblogic 10.3. In my .ear files, I use spring injection from xml files in the ear files. I would like to also perform dependency injection from xml files placed on the server file-system. We do something similar to this in Karaf, where we place our configuration files for bundles in the conf directory in the server itself. Is there a similar way to do this in weblogic?

You can ask spring to read properties from file systems as below;

<!-- Reads application properties and uses them in the application context -->
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true"/>
    <property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE"/>
    <property name="locations">
        <list>
            <value>file:D:\somefolder\application.properties</value>
            <value>classpath:com/foo/sp.properties</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>
