XML file in a jar

[Aaliya Seth]

Hello,
I have an application that reads an XML file for configuration, when I run my application from Eclipse, I have no problem, and when I run my application from a jar, it does not find the file. Do you have any solution for this. Is that the eclipse is an IDE that is why the only it can execute the file. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The Class File represent files available on the local system, but can in no way represent remote files or files within the archive as in your case. If you just want to read the file you have in any case need to use File. You have to directly use the InputStream'sURL or Method getResourceAsStream (). I hope you are getting the point what I am trying to explain here. If you have more queries then you can ask.

Hello,
All depends what you want to file.

getClass (). getResource ( "configuration.xml") returns the URL of the file.

Your problem is probably the new File (.. ToFile ());
I think should try the following part of the code

File fl = new File(getClass().getResource("configuration.xml").tr());

Hello,
I have about a similar problem except that I can read the XML file that is in my JAR By cons I would like to edit.

XMLWriter w = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter(getClass().getResource("/ hibernate.cfg.xml").function toString() {
    [native code]
}, false));
w.write( "XML feed as Document.class");
w.close();

It makes me an error saying that the path does not exist.

Reading the XML -> OK
Writing XML -> not OK

Hello,
I do not know what exactly you want in your code, but i have a code with me, see if this helps you.
Here the code

File t = new File ("t");
t.mkdirs();
Process proc = new ProcessBuilder ("pjr", "-xf", "myjar.pjr", t.getName ()).start();
proc.waitFor();
// TODO read and update persistence.xml
Process pjr = new ProcessBuilder ("pjr", "-cf", "myjar.pjr", t.getName()).start();
pjr.waitFor();
