comment-Victor Volle/bookservice-macro-2 The code in Radeox (TextFileUrlMapper) is as follows: {code} ... try{ BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( new FileInputStream(getFileName()))); addMapping(br); } catch (IOException e) { log.warn("Unable to read " + getFileName()); fileNotFound = true; } if (fileNotFound) { BufferedReader br = null; try { br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( klass.getResourceAsStream("/"+getFileName()))); addMapping(br); } catch (Exception e) { log.warn("Unable to read /" + getFileName() + " from jar"); } } {code} So it first checks the file system for the path that is returned by getFileName(), which is "conf/bookservices.txt", and then the classpath. I haven't really tried to get this code running, since neither allows me to use a Snip. Victor Volle Victor Volle 2004-11-11 13:23:04.681 2004-11-11 13:22:59.531
