Yes, the properties element will let you use either a resource or a
URL as the location of the properties file.
A resource is loaded from the class loader and as such, needs to be on
the class path. In a web application, you could put it in a jar in
your WEB-INF/lib directory, or in a directory in WEB-INF/classes, and
the class loader will find it. Resource examples include
"com/company/system/config/ibatis.propertes" or just simple
"ibatis.properties" instead.
A URL is loaded with the URLConnection class, so any URL that Java is
aware of will work in iBATIS. For example,
"jar:file:/somedir/config.jar!/ibatis-dev.properties". If you really
had a need, you could even use
"http://somehost/config/somefile.properties";, and iBATIS would
dutifully load the properties from that URL.
You need to find the appropriate URL, and it will work.
