Hi,
One of my smart service plugin looking for a resource (app_config.properties) from the classpath. I have already placed app_config.properties in the src/main/resources inside my pluing project however it throws below error.

Initial Cause: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /app_config.properties (No such file or directory) :app_config.properties is not in classpath. Please fix the problem before re-run.

Code Snippet:
ClassLoader contextClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
URL resource = contextClassLoader.getResource("app_config.properties");

Question1:
---------------
Could you please let me what is the classpath location in the Appian installation directory so that resouces can be available for the application?

Thanks
Ravinder

Thanks Eduardo!
My plugin deployed in Appian uses (dependency) one third party/different application jar which is internally looking for app_config.properties file in the classpath. I don't have an option to update or modify the Java code in the jar file. I have de-compiled the code and found the below statements they have in the code -
ClassLoader contextClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); URL resource = contextClassLoader.getResource("app_config.properties");

Is there any way i can place the app_config.properties file in the appian /cfg or some config folder which can be available in the classpath at runtime?

Thank you.

Have you been able to come up with a solution for this approach? I think you should be able to put the app_config.properties inside the plug-in jar just like the author of "Dynamic Document Generator" does it for docx4j.properties (see forum.appian.com/.../summary)
