Java file path not found

Question

I am using Java8 with Spring running on a Wildfly server.

I have the following package:

In LanguageChunkerServiceImpl, I am trying to get a handle on en-parser-chunking.bin, but I get a error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: en-parser-chunking.bin (The system cannot find the file specified)

My code:

LanguageChunkerServiceImpl.java

new FileInputStream("en-parser-chunking.bin");

or

new FileInputStream("./src/main/java/com/jobs/spring/service/lang/en-parser-chunking.bin");

When I run this from the main method, the following does work though:

new FileInputStream("./src/main/java/com/jobs/spring/service/lang/en-parser-chunking.bin");

Can anyone please advise what the path should be?

Thank you

You probably want to take a look at Class#getResourceAsStream. — Mena

Thanks. I tried this, ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); URL resource = classLoader.getResource("en-parser-chunking.bin"); but resource is null — Richard

I would rather not get the absolute path of the current location, and then deprive the required files location from there. I think this may not work when I deploy to other servers. — Richard

You should put the file in resource folder not in src/java, if your using spring.

The following works:

If you are using Spring, put the file in the resources dir.

        ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
        File file = new File(classLoader.getResource("en-parser-chunking.bin").getFile());
        System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());
        modelInParse = new FileInputStream(file.getAbsolutePath());
