Hi all,
I want to change some.hbm files (which are just text files) that are inside a JAR file. The JAR file is inside my lib folder inside WEB-INF (it is a library that my application uses).
Would it be possible to make these changes without unpacking and repacking the JAR? I tried to do it with WinZip but WinZip will not save the hbm file with it's same folder structure. When I click save it creates a new file with no folder structure.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this?
Thanks,
Jehan

Jehan,
If you are doing this from the command line, you can use the jar command. It has an update option described online.
Any reason you don't want to unzip the jar?

If possible, it would be preferable to just regenerate the JAR file after changing the .hbm files in their permanent location. In other words, use your standard process for creating the JAR file.

If these files need to be modified more than once I wouldn't put them in an archive of any kind.
