Question

i want to test a service method that parses an excel file
so i need help in the following:

1. i want to create a test folder for the excel files under web-app, how to do that ?
2. how to load the file in the unit test ?

please advise, thanks.

Answer 1

I typically put files into resources and load them as this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("my.xsl").

Please pay attention. If you put your file to the same package where your test is you just have to put the local name. Otherwise you should provide absolute path starting with /. If your application does not know to work with streams and requires files use this.getClass().getResource("my.xsl").getFile().
