Sets the basePath for all file references from this Configuration Factory.

Usage

From source file:gda.configuration.properties.JakartaPropertiesConfig.java

/**
 * Workaround for an apparent bug with factory base path default of ".". Configuration descriptor file (config.xml)
 * contains references to one or more property data sources. Files should work with relative pathnames. However just
 * specifying "java.properties" doesnt find the file! So need to fixup the factory base path with the location of
 * the config.xml file. This appears to fix the problem - eg "java.properties" is now found.
 * //w w  w  .  j  a  v a2 s  . c o m
 * @param factory
 *            the current configuration factory in use
 * @param listName
 *            file path name of the property data source

private void configFactoryBasePathBugWorkaround(ConfigurationFactory factory, String listName) {
    // String basePath = factory.getBasePath(); // retain for debugging

    // work out length of path excluding filename
    int pathEndIndex = 0;
    pathEndIndex = Math.max(pathEndIndex, listName.lastIndexOf('\\'));
    pathEndIndex = Math.max(pathEndIndex, listName.lastIndexOf('/'));

    // set the path into factory, since its default of "." doesnt
    // successfully fetch files from the same folder as config.xml!!
    String p = listName.substring(0, pathEndIndex);
    factory.setBasePath(p);

    // String setBasePath = factory.getBasePath(); // retain for debugging
