Making Your Configuration File Available

Overview

You can make the configuration file available to the FUSE Services Framework runtime in one of the following ways:

Name the configuration file cxf.xml and add it your CLASSPATH.
Use one of the following command-line flags to point to the configuration file:
- ```
-Dcxf.config.file=myCfgResource
```
- ```
-Dcxf.config.file.url=myCfgURL
```
This allows you to save the configuration file anywhere on your system and avoid adding it to your CLASSPATH. It also means you can give your configuration file any name you want.
This is a useful approach for portable JAX-WS applications. It is also the method used in most of the FUSE Services Framework samples. For example, in the WS-Addressing sample, located in the InstallDir/samples/ws-addressing directory, the server start command specifies the server.xml configuration file as follows:
```
java -Dcxf.config.file=server.xml  demo.ws_addressing.server.Server
```
Note
In this example, the start command is run from the directory in which the server.xml file resides.
Programmatically, by creating a bus and passing the configuration file location as either a URL or string. For example:
```
(new SpringBusFactory()).createBus(URL myCfgURL)
(new SpringBusFactory()).createBus(String myCfgResource)
```
