I have some config properties, e.g. log4j.properties (and other app config files) and I would like to place the on the EAR level, instead of WAR level? Any ideas how to do so on Websphere 6?<br />
<br />
On WAR level, I can simply then under WEB-INF/classes. <br />
<br />
I tried to put those properties files on the EAR root level and then add the Class-Path: log4j.properties xxxx<br />
<br />
But, seems the WAR application (war and log4j.jar) can't read those properties..<br />

Placing properties files on EAR, instead of WAR file

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.
