Question

I’d like to read a properties file in my applications WEB-INF folder or my tomcat/apache server from a JAAS loginModule. But I’m not understanding how to properly refer to the location from the LoginModule, in a host name independent manner.

Answer 1

You could use the catalina.base system property:

File confDir = new File(System.getProperty('catalina.base'), 'conf'); File confFile = new File(confDir, 'myprops.properties'); InputStream in = new FileInputStream(confFile); try {     props.load(in); } finally {     in.close(); }
