Question

I’m trying to use getResourceAsStream to load a java keystore albeit unsuccessfully. I’m not sure why it fails, but I’m loading it inside Play! 2.0 from a subfolder inside a typical folder.

Here’s the folder structure and keystore location:

play root >> app >> subfolder1 >> keystore

And the location of the file I’m loading it from:

play root >> app >> subfolder1 >> scala.class

And how I am loading it inside scala.class:

getClass().getResourceAsStream("/keystore")

Any ideas as to what’s going wrong?

Answer 1

By prefacing the path with / you’re asking for a keystore at the root of the package hierarchy. Try either of the following:

getClass.getResourceAsStream("/app/subfolder1/keystore")
getClass.getResourceAsStream("keystore")

See the Java documentation for more detail on how to specify resource paths.
