How to turn off or disable vfs file loading in JBOSS AS7

Question

I am using jboss AS7 as server and also i am using the following code for getting all jar files which contains particular resource file.

 try {
       urls = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResources("config.properties");
//Here gets all jar files url which contains config.properties file
            } catch (IOException e) {
                throw new AWGenericException(e);
            }

But in the case of JBOSS the all urls are appeared in the form of VFS (virtual file system) format. So the url strings are looks like follows

vfs:/E:/Servers/JBOSS/standalone/deployments/isms.war/WEB-INF/lib/ariba.aribaweb.jar/META-INF/config.properties

actually i dont need the vfs url i need the url which appears in regular format which looks like follows.

jar:file:/E:/Servers/JBOSS/standalone/deployments/isms.war/WEB-INF/lib/ariba.aribaweb.jar!/META-INF/config.properties

Is it possible to turn off this feature (vfs) in JBOSS AS7

Answer 1

No it is not possible since JBoss AS7 uses VFS for its storage system.

You can however, go getPath() on your URL Object which will just return your path like:

E:/Servers/JBOSS/standalone/deployments/isms.war/WEB-INF/lib/ariba.aribaweb.jar/META-INF/config.properties

Which you could in theory add jar:file: to the start and replace the .jar within the getPath() with .jar! if you need it to match.
