Re: Getting a resource from a WAR

[Eddie Bush]

The ActionServlet provides an excellent example of how one might do this in 
its initServlet method.  Perhaps you'd care to have a look at that?

The classes directory is for compiled Java classes.  Some folks put XML 
there if it needs to be in the classpath, but I try to avoid this because it 
"just feels wrong".

Regards,
Eddie

Hi!
 try putting the "myresource.xml" under /WEB-INF/classes/ and get
access to it as below.
public void init() throws ServletException {
 try{
 SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
 URL confFileURL =
this.getServletContext().getResource("/WEB-INF/classes/MyResource.xml");
 logger.info("the config resource was " + (confFileURL != null ? "found"
   : "not found"));
 Document doc = builder.build(confFileURL);
 logger.info("Root Element -->"+doc.getRootElement());
}catch (MalformedURLException e) {
logger.info("Malformed URL Exception"+e.toString());
}catch(JDOMException de){
logger.info("JDOM Exception"+de.toString());
}
}
rgds,
Dinesh

I have an ActionServlet that subclasses the struts action servlet. In my
init() method i'm trying to load a resource
like this.
   public void init(){
      URL url = this.getServletContext().getResource("/myresource.xml");
       logger.info("the config resource was " + (url != null ? "found"
: "not found"));
   }
The "not found" statement is printed.
I checked my .war file and the resource is properly placed under
WEB-INF/myresource.xml
Note, that this war file is part of a  .ear file.
Thanks in advance.
