I have different XML-files in my 'src/main/recources' folder, and I'd like to read them from my webapplication.
File f = new File("file1.xml");
f.getAbsolutePath();
The code gets invoked inside a WebService, and this prints out 'C:\Users\Administrator' when I look inside the Tomcat-server-output. My current solution is to put the 'file1.xml'-documents outside of the WAR, in the 'C:\'-folder but this way my WAR is not transferable.
I've also tried
<bean name="webService">
<property name="document">
<value>classpath:file1.xml</value>
</property>
</bean>
But that just prints out the "classpath:file.xml" without parsing it.

This article describes how to use the XmlTextReader class to read the XML data from a file. The XmlTextReader class provides direct parsing and tokenizing of the XML data.
In Java, we can use getResourceAsStream or getResource to read a file or multiple files from a resources folder or root of the classpath. The getResourceAsStream method returns an InputStream . // the stream holding the file content InputStream is = getClass(). getClassLoader().
1) click project -> properties -> Build Path -> Source -> Add Folder and select resources folder. 2) create your JAR! EDIT: you can make sure your JAR contains folder by inspecting it using 7zip. Save this answer.
If you are using the standard maven2 war packaging, your file1.xml is copied to the directory WEB-INF/classes within your warfile.
You can access this file via the classpath.
URL resourceUrl = URL.class.getResource("/WEB-INF/classes/file1.xml");
File resourceFile = new File(resourceUrl.toURI());
