Automatic deployed resource files in Cics Bundle

This RFE adresses the developer experience:

We have the need, that a developer wants to deploy extra files to the unix file system related to an application.

-> application configuration file
-> application resource file
-> logging configuration (log4j2.xml)

Something like a "unix liberty resource file" related to a liberty server would be needed here.

All of this files should be automaticaly deployed to the liberty unix filesystem on activation of a cics bundle.

I (the sysprog) don't want to do something here. It is the responsibility of the developper to say. I need this resource file for my application. I deploy it to a cics bundle and then cics should put it in place.

    We received an email from you on June 18th which said: Thanks for letting me know. I had not read the comment. I will try it as soon as I have time. If this works it will be great.

    Having not heard back any more, this RFE is being closed.

    Regarding "All of this files should be automatically deployed to the Liberty Unix filesystem on activation of a CICS bundle." - these configuration files can be placed into the CICS bundle root or sub directory. The configuration files can be referenced in the JVM profile by use of the &CONFIGROOT; symbol, or Liberty server.xml or within the application itself using the value of the com.ibm.cics.jvmserver.configroot system property - see topic Referencing zFS artifacts in a bundle.

    Java developers could also place the configuration files within the relevant Java project/packaging and thus will be deployed with that project. For example for OSGi bundles, if you include the resource file in the bundle at the top-level and add an entry into the build.properties of the project it is exported to the file-system with the OSGi bundle. Then use the standard, InputStream inputStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/resource.file"); to get it in source.
