Tomcat / WAR File; Classpath not recognised for properties file
Hi All,
I'm having trouble when deploying my WAR application. The War file contains
mainly the WEB.xml, and index.html file and a number of required libraries,
incudling the compiled src code i've written, All libraries are stored
within the WEB-INF/libs which is correct. Along the libraries i have a
folder called resources, which have a number of files used as properties
files.
The problem is that when i'm trying to access these files (property files)
i'm givin a 'Not found' error, and mainly this is due to the fact that its
looking in the bin folder of tomcat as its classpath!
I'm accesing these files using relative paths ie: /resources/config.xml
How can i fix this problem? any ideas would really be appreciated!
thanks in advance
Nick

The program's default classpath is app/WEB-INF/classes
so,you need to put the property files under this folder.
That means that when you developping,you should put property files under
the src folder.

What does that mean (servlets are classes, after all)? What class, and
where is it being loaded from? What is its function if it's not part of
handling a request?

yes..All of this should work
it sounds as if perhaps someone has been changing the security permissions
without your knowledge?
try wrapping each executable statement with try/catch
try {
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("resources/myfile.xml").getPath().toString());
}
catch(SecurityException se)
{
System.out.println("A SecurityException has been thrown..please check
/conf/catalina.policy file the specific message="+se.getMessage());
}
Anyone?

You don't compiler resources, but the properties file can be placed in
the jar.

As previously described.

Just put the properties file in base directory of the jar.

Then how does the resource get into the webapp?? Yes, make sure the jar
files you generate have the resource files. The other option is to
create a WEB-INF/classes/resources folder with your resource files in it.

Neither,
I didn't compile the resources with the jar file! should i?
if so how would i then access it?
Also i don;t have a classes directory since my code is compiled and jarred
and forms part of the WEB-INF/lib
Thanks

Then I suspect your resource isn't in a place where your webapp's

BTW,
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("resources/myfile.xml").getPath().toString());
should work as
this.getClass().getResource( "/resources/myfile.xml" ).getPath() ;
No need for all the extra noise.

Re: Tomcat / WAR File; Classpath not recognised for properties file
Posted by David Smith <dn...@cornell.edu>.
So where exactly is your "resources/myFile.xml"? Is it in the
WEB-INF/classes directory of your webapp or a jar file in WEB-INF/lib?
Your method of access requires it be in one of those two places.

Hi again,
Thanks for your help!
Though i'm still having trouble..since the file is being accessed from a
class not the servlet the ServletContext is not valid. Then i tried to print
out the following:
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("resources/myfile.xml").getPath().toString());
but still the result is : d:\tomcat\bin\resources\myfile.xml
If someone can give me a clearer idea it would be great..
Thanks once again
Nick

What you are seeing with it referencing the bin directory is it
accessing the directory tomcat was started from. Depending on the
script, that can be virtually anywhere in the system.
The servlet API provides ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(
webappRelPath ) for reading files in the webapp. If you placed the
properties files in either WEB-INF/classes or a .jar file, you should
also be able to do it with a Class.getResourceAsStream() method.

Ooops... my fault. I was thinking of getRealPath().

Not according to the API doc:
"This method allows the servlet container to make a resource available
to servlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or
remote file system, in a database, or in a .war file."
Note that you can also use ServletContext.getResourceAsStream() or
Class.getResourceAsStream(), which are sometimes more convenient.

Re: Tomcat / WAR File; Classpath not recognised for properties file
Posted by David Smith <dn...@cornell.edu>.
If JibxManager is a class you wrote, couldn't you have the servlet
resolve the path to resources using ServletContext.getResource(
"/webapp-relative/path/to/my/resources" ).getPath() and then pass that
in on the JibxManager constructor? The only achilles heal here is the
ServletContext.getResource() method won't work from a .war archive. The
webapp has to be an expanded folder.

RE: Tomcat / WAR File; Classpath not recognised for properties file
Posted by nformosa <nf...@gmail.com>.
So, this is my layout..
I've got a servlet which handles the requests.
The servlet than instantiates another class. This class called JibxManager
(using jibx), then handles the requests and Marshals the xml request. The
JibxManager also handles xsd verification, so it has to load the xsd. This
xsd is one of the files i need to be loaded properly.
the xsd is accessed as follows:
this.requestSchema = schemaFactory.newSchema(new
File(requestSchemaLocation));
where requestSchemaLocation = "resources/jibx/schema/myschema.xsd"
Thanks again

What code are you using to locate these files? Hopefully something to
do with the servlet spec? See, for example,
ServletContext.getResource(String).
