I’m new to Spring and I’m just trying to open a simple text file

  • 0

I’m new to Spring and I’m just trying to open a simple text file and parse it so I can create some POJOs. My problem is I can’t get Spring to find the txt file.

I’ve tried putting the file all over the place and right now I’ve put it in

/myAop/src/main/resources/myFile.txt

and I’m referencing it in a file called

com.myApp.pojo.Team.java

using code like this:

FileSystemResource resource = new FileSystemResource("/myApp/src/main/resources/myFile.txt");
File f =resource.getFile();

However, I’m not having any luck.

I’ve also tried several other locations.
Thanks in advance for the help.

    What I wound up doing was putting the file in base directory with the POM.xml file and then i could get to it just by using the name and not by having to use any kind of path. I’m sure there are better ways but for the time being I just needed to move on.
