OSB: What is best practice for reading configuration information
1033781Jun 30 2009 — edited Sep 28 2010I'm trying to establish the best way to utilise configuration information within OSB. At present I have a standard Java style properties file and Java callout to get certain information and I have also been experimenting with Dynamic Routing using an XML based Xquery resource.
The latter appears to me the best approach and is described on page 3-40 of the OSB User Guide but it appears to be configurable only from the OSB console and not as a resource from within Workshop. Ideally I'd like to configure an XML resource file that is loaded from disk at OSB startup and then be able to use that via an XQuery.
How have other people addressed the issue of getting access to parameter/control values at run time?
