Hello all!
I'm writing a method for my application that reads a file inside a jar bundle:
private void readFile() throws IOException, MalformedURLException {
//Get the current directory:
File dir = new File(".");
//Build URL containing path to the JAR file:
URL cacheurl = new URL("jar:file:" + dir.getCanonicalPath() +
"/GlossTerm.jar!/");
//Build URL with path to file in the JAR file:
URL fileurl = new URL(cacheurl, "/data.txt");
JarURLConnection connection =
(JarURLConnection) fileurl.openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(false);
connection.connect();
InputStream inps = connection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inps));
The problem is that this works great when the user from the terminal
executes the JAR file from the same directory that it current resides
e.g. java -jar jarName.jar. However, when the user doesn't execute the
jar file from the same directory that the jar file is in e.g. java
-jar /DirName1/DirName2/jarName.jar then I run into a ZipExeception
error where the file can't be found. Any help on this would be most
welcomed!
Thanks,
Saad.
