How to read a file that is inside an EAR

Question

I have the following structure of an Ear application

• myApplication.Air
  • /META-INF/file.properties
  • War/WEB-INF/lib/myLib.jar/myClasse.java file

I would like to retrieve the file from my Classe.java.

I’ve tried to:

getClass(). getResource("/META-INF/file.properties") getClass(). getClassLoader(). getResource("/META-INF/file.properties") Classloader.getSystemClassLoader(). getResource("/META-INF/file.properties")

All return null

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try this way:

URL url = SomeClassInEar.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/META-INF/arquivo.properties");
File file = new File(url.getPath());
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);

I hope I’ve helped
