Question

I am trying to get a File under my WEB-INF/classes folder using Spring.

<bean id="myBean" class="path.to.MyBean" >
    <property name="myFile">
        <value>file:WEB-INF/classes/myFile.foo</value>
    </property>
</bean>

However, when I print out the myFile’s File Path from inside MyBean it is:

c:\\apache\bin\WEB-INF\classes\myFile.foo

So it is not using the relative deployment path.

Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Try:

 <value>classpath:WEB-INF/classes/myFile.foo</value> 

or

 <value>classpath:myFile.foo</value>
