Question

I have a Java project in Netbeans. It runs fine with Maven. So I assembled it. It contains the following code to load a file that is in the JAR:

ClassLoader loader = MyClass.class.getClassLoader();
SERVICE_URL = loader.getResource("my.wsdl");

This returns a URL like:

jar:file:/path/to/my/file/MyClass-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar!/my.wsdl

but the library that needs this parameter doesn’t appear to be able to use it.

Is there any way this file can be in the JAR and be referred to from the code like this?

Answer 1

You may have to use ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(), copy it to a temporary file, and then create a URL with File.toURI().toURL()
