Hi,
Did anyone ever try this?
I am using jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12
What I am trying to do is to read txt/xml files in Java class by providing a relative path. I try to obtain the URL for the resource file first, then instantiate the File(it can be a directory too) using that URL.
When I use absolute path, everything works great:
see code below:('sql' is a folder holding resource files)
<<<<<<<<
Resources.class.getClassLoader().getResource("/home/shane/
jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12/server/default/lib/sql/");
>>>>>>>>
but since this code will need to be put into CVS, it's better to use a relative path instead of an absolute one.
when I modified the code to as below, it can't obtain the URL anymore, it just thinks the folder sql doesn't exist user '/home/shane/
jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12/server/default/lib/', but I believe this should be the application path for libraries.
<<<<<<<<
Resources.class.getClassLoader().getResource("sql/");
>>>>>>>>
Not sure why, but it worked this way in JBOSS 2.4.6.
Any ideas?
Thanks -Shane
