Your file path (mappingFile) should be relative to the jar location of the class being used for getResource.

(1) The pkg path to them is com.foo.xml.castor.mapping; (2) There is include entry in m1.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mapping> <include href="com/foo/xml/castor/mapping/m2.xml"/> .... </mapping> Now, in the client code, foo.jar is included in the class path: String mappingFile = "com/foo/xml/castor/mapping/m1.xml" org.exolab.castor.mapping.Mapping mapping= new Mapping(); mapping.loadMapping(this.getClass().getResource(mappingFile)); However the mapping object can not be created with null pointer error. What's the proper cfg steps to access mapping files in a jar file? Note: I can run these castor mapping perfectly if the mapping files are placed in a regular file folder. Your help is greatly appreciated! -Herbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
