Hello!

I was asked (more like forced) by my boss to submit generic, signed BlackBerry builds (with all of the features present in the code), but he wants to be able to control which features are enabled by using custom properties in a configuration file.

I would like to ask a question:
Is there ANY way that a resource (text file) can be bundled with a cod file AFTER having signed the included .cod files (another cod containig the data?) , in such a manner, that it can opened and read from within the application?

PS:
Reading from the .jad is out of the question as they have multiple distribution channels (.jad & .cods, .alx & .cod, etc.).

I've tried creating an empty project with the text file in it (compiled as a module) but there doesn't seem to be a method for reading files from inside other modules.

Okay, let me rephrase this:
I'm not trying to do anything illegal. I'm simply trying to load a text file (containing configuration options) from a DIFFERENT cod file than the one from my project.

I already tried

String filename = new String("cod://appNameres/appconfig.cfg");
InputStream is = file.getClass().getResourceAsStream(file);

and it doesn't work. Where the resource cod is "appNameres.cod"

I saw some pointers on using a class to do this but HOW can I call on a class in a different cod file?

For example:

class ResLoader
{
  public static InputStream loadResource(String filename)
  {
    InputStream is = file.getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);
    return is;
  }
}

I'm a noob in terms of RIM BB API (i did use J2ME for quite a while).

I finally managed to do it by creating a library that reads out of the resource cod. I placed the library in the classpath on compilation, and then on the rapc task. I also installed the resource cod at the same time as the application.
