How to get getclass().getResource() from a static context?

Question

I have a function where I am trying to load a file to a URL object, because the example project said so.

public class SecureFTP {      public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException , ClassNotFoundException, SQLException , JSchException, SftpException{         File file = new File("/home/xxxxx/.ssh/authorized_keys");         URL keyFileURL = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(file); 

I tried using SecureFTP.class.getResource, but it still could not compile it.

I am fairly new to Java, so I know I am doing something wrong.

Answer 1

The main method is a static method, so trying to access this (= the current Object) will not work. You can replace that line by

URL keyFileURL = SecureFTP.class.getClassLoader().getResource("/home/xxxxx/.ssh/authorized_keys");
