Apache Livy doesn't work with local jar file

Question

I am trying to run local jar file with spark-submit which is working perfectly fine. Here is the command-

spark-submit --class "SimpleApp" --master local myProject/target/scala-2.11/simple-project_2.11-1.0.jar

But when I am trying with curl

curl -X POST --data '{
 "file": "file:///home/user/myProject/target/scala-2.11/simple-project_2.11-1.0.jar",
 "className": "SimpleApp",
}'  
-H 
"Content-Type: application/json" 
http://server:8998/batches

It is throwing error

"requirement failed: Local path /home/user/myProject/target/scala-2.11/simple-project_2.11-1.0.jar cannot be added to user sessions."

Here is my livy.conf file, as some article suggest to change few things.

# What host address to start the server on. By default, Livy will bind to all network interfaces.
livy.server.host = 0.0.0.0

# What port to start the server on.
livy.server.port = 8998

# What spark master Livy sessions should use.
livy.spark.master = local

# What spark deploy mode Livy sessions should use.
livy.spark.deploy-mode = client

# List of local directories from where files are allowed to be added to user sessions. By
# default it's empty, meaning users can only reference remote URIs when starting their
# sessions.
livy.file.local-dir-whitelist= /home/user/.livy-sessions/

Please help me out with this.

Thanks in Advance.

I recently got the solution of local file reading from Apache Livy as I was creating the wrong request with cURL. I just replaced file reading protocol from 'file://' with 'local:/' and that works for me.

curl -X POST --data '{
  "file": "local:/home/user/myProject/target/scala-2.11/simple-project_2.11-1.0.jar",
  "className": "SimpleApp",
}'  
-H 
"Content-Type: application/json" 
http://server:8998/batches

That was quite a small mistake but still, my jar file cannot be accessed from HDFS.

Thank you all for helping out.
