Question

I have this strange thing with input and output streams, whitch I just can’t understand.
I use inputstream to read properties file from resources like this:

Properties prop = new Properties();
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream( "/resources/SQL.properties" );
rop.load(in);
return prop;

It finds my file and reds it succesfully. I try to write modificated settings like this:

prop.store(new FileOutputStream( "/resources/SQL.properties" ), null);

And I getting strange error from storing:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: \resources\SQL.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)

So why path to properties are changed? How to fix this?
I am using Netbeans on Windows

Answer 1

May be it works

try
{
java.net.URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/resources/SQL.properties");

java.io.FileInputStream pin = new java.io.FileInputStream(url.getFile());

java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();

props.load(pin);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}

and check the below url

getResourceAsStream() vs FileInputStream
