I am using Narayana within a JavaSE application. The application is compiled into a single Jar. When executing, Narayana fails to bootstrap properly.

The first problem is within com.arjuna.common.util.ConfigurationInfo.

Lines 111-115 aim to load the MANIFEST file from the classpath:

String pathToManifest = basePath+"/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF";

InputStream is = null;
try {
is = new URL(pathToManifest).openStream();

I replaced this with:

InputStream is = null;

// BEGIN - WORKAROUND FOR ONE-JAR
try {
String targetPrefix = pathToThisClass.substring(0, pathToThisClass.length() - "/com/arjuna/common/util/ConfigurationInfo.class".length());
Enumeration<URL> resources = ConfigurationInfo.class.getClassLoader().getResources("META-INF/MANIFEST.MF");
while (resources.hasMoreElements()) {
URL next = resources.nextElement();
if (next.toString().startsWith(targetPrefix))

{ is = next.openStream(); break; }

}
// END - WORKAROUND FOR ONE-JAR

This should work for all environments.

Changes are also required in com.arjuna.common.util.propertyservice.AbstractPropertiesFactory to attempt loading from classpath as well as file system:

The last line of initDefaultProperties (195) needed changing to:

defaultProperties = getPropertiesFromClasspath(propertyFileName, PropertiesFactoryStax.class.getClassLoader());
if (defaultProperties == null)

{ defaultProperties = getPropertiesFromFile(propertyFileName, PropertiesFactoryStax.class.getClassLoader()); }

}

and the following methods added / replaced:

/**

• Returns the config properties read from a specified relative location on the classpath.
  *
• @param propertyFileName the file name relative to the classpath root.
• @return the Properties loaded from the specified source.
  */
  public Properties getPropertiesFromClasspath(String propertyFileName, ClassLoader classLoader) {

Properties properties = null;

try {
Enumeration<URL> resources = ConfigurationInfo.class.getClassLoader().getResources(propertyFileName);
while (resources.hasMoreElements())

{ URL next = resources.nextElement(); properties = loadFromStream(next.openStream()); return properties; }

} catch(Exception e)

{ return null; }

return properties;
}

/**

  *
• @param propertyFileName the file name. If relative, this is located using the FileLocator algorithm.
• @return the Properties loaded from the specified source.
  */
  public Properties getPropertiesFromFile(String propertyFileName, ClassLoader classLoader) {
  String propertiesSourceUri = null;
  try { // This is the point where the search path is applied - user.dir (pwd), user.home, java.home, classpath propertiesSourceUri = com.arjuna.common.util.propertyservice.FileLocator.locateFile(propertyFileName, classLoader); }

  catch(FileNotFoundException fileNotFoundException)

  catch (IOException e)

  { throw new RuntimeException("invalid property file "+propertiesSourceUri, e); }

Properties properties = null;

try

{ properties = loadFromFile(propertiesSourceUri); properties = applySystemProperties(properties); }

catch(Exception e)

{ throw new RuntimeException("unable to load properties from "+propertiesSourceUri, e); }

return properties;
}

private Properties loadFromStream(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {

Properties inputProperties = new Properties();
Properties outputProperties = new Properties();

try

{ loadFromXML(inputProperties,inputStream); }

finally

{ inputStream.close(); }
