Reading ear manifest.mf from JSP

[K Thapa]

Hello all,

In order to display application ear version,I need to access ear-specific Manifest.mf file from my jsp.
When I do:
application.getResourceAsStream("META-INF/MANIFEST.MF")
it gives me the war specific Manifest.mf(as expected) .
Changin it to application.getResourceAsStream("../META-INF/Manifest.mf") returns null.

I also tried few other things like but they all return null:
1. ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(" META-INF/Manifest.mf")
2.this.getClass().getClassLoader().getParent().getResourceAsStream(" META-INF/Manifest.mf")
Here is my structure
abc.ear
- META-INF ( has manifest.mf and application.xml)

- xyz.war ( has readmanifest.jsp/WEB-INF/ META-INF->manifest.mf )
readmanifest.jsp should read manifest.mf one level up.

How do I get hold of the ear-level( app level) Classloader in Websphere?
Is there an alternate way to achieve what I am trying to do?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have solution for your problem?

Use basic java I/O. Something like:

   
ServletContext sctx = null;
 ServletConfig cfg = getServletConfig();
 //check if it is invoked as a servlet
  if (cfg != null) {
      sctx = cfg.getServletContext();
  }
   if (sctx != null) {
      manifestURL = sctx.getResource("/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF");
  }
   File mfFile = new File(manifestURL.getPath() + "/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF") :wink: ;
   Manifest mf = new Manifest(new FileInputStream(mfFile));
