I am trying to replicate the Websphere's URL Resource provider functionality in Tomcat, but haven't been really successful. So what I would like to do is access a properties file from a URL. This provides a convenient approach to modifying prop files as apposed to residing within WAR file. Anyway back to my question, I have taken a stab at this and below is how my meta-inf\context.xml, web.xml, and jndi code snippet looks.

CONTEXT.XML


WEB.XML


JNDI Lookup code snippet



Its throwing an exception.

My question is if URL resource configuration is possible in Tomcat 5.5, and if so how.

thanks

nope. No one replied back. I am assuming you are trying to do something similar. However I found an alternative. I am configuring an env variable in the web xml. This url will offer more insight into this approach
http://wiki.metawerx.net/wiki/Web.xml.EnvEntry

After reading the url as string I conver it to a URL by doing a java.net.URL url = new URL (String value);

Hope this helps.

The right working solution you can find in this article: https://codelevain.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/url-as-jndi-resource/
