hi,
In my java class, I want to find out the location of the shared-classes path.
Is there any pre-defined variable through which I could access it?
Or I will have to create an environment variable and set the path?
Thanks in advance. |

Why? What value does this give you? What requirement does this meet?

Yes, or at least you can infer it from the workpath.

Why? Why not put it in a less sensitive location that allows safer and more secure editing of the properties?

Why? What's wrong with using the CLASSPATH?

You mean it's okay if I put log4j.properties file in
MQSI\9.0.0.0\bin folder? |

Never. Put it somewhere else in your classpath, preferably a folder created especially for custom properties files. A safe place. Safe from people trying to add, edit or remove files in application binaries directories, that is.
Alternatively, why not use user defined properties? |

The usual place for the JAR files is /var/mqsi/shared-classes, however you can also have execution group scope shared-classes like this
/var/mqsi/config/<brokername>/<EGname>/shared-classes
For the properties file you should put it somewhere else which is more application specific. Or you could symlink from the EG reference to somewhere else.
Don't put application configuration data in system directories though.

There's more in the classpath than the bin folder.
