Access Imported Archive in User Defined Function

Question

Hi!
I want to access a XML file in an user defined function in a message mapping. The XML file is included in an imported archive. I need the information out of this XML file for configuring an extended receiver determination.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Krishna,
a property file will be a solution but is has to be stored in the filesystem. In my scenario I prefer a file (not neccessary xml) which is editeable in the IR.
I tried something in this way (just for testing):
try {
     DocumentBuilderFactory factory = null;
     DocumentBuilder builder = null;
     Document document = null;
     Element element = null;
     factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
     document =  builder.parse(Container.class.getResourceAsStream("routing.xml"));
     element = (Element)document.getElementsByTagName("BUSINESS_SYSTEM").item(0);
     return element.getNodeValue();
} catch (Exception e) {
     return "Crash: "+e.getMessage();
But it crashes, because the resource "routing.xml" cannot be found. I tried to add the namespace or the name of the imported archive or both as prefix, but it don't work. How can I find out under which address/url I can open the xml document?
Best regards,
Daniel
