Description

Hello,
I'm using xwork for a swing application. I would like to put my xwork configuration files out of the classpath.
Currently I've done the following 'dirty hack':
1. added system property to vm start parameters: -Dxwork.home=conf/system/
2. modified XmlConfigurationProvider in com.opensymphony.xwork.config.providers

try {
String xworkHome = System.getProperty("xwork.home");
System.out.println(xworkHome);
if (xworkHome!=null)

{ //is = getInputStream(xworkHome+fileName); is = new FileInputStream(xworkHome+fileName); }

else

{ is = getInputStream(fileName); }

...

Or am I missing something and this feature is already present?
I read in the Manning's book that classpath is the only place you can put it.
