loading files from a jar

[frank]

Had something working just fine when the files where on the local file
system but now that I have them in a jar it's not working. I believe
the paths are correct just seems to be going to the local file system
and not the jar file.


String styleSheet = xss/style.xsl

TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(
styleSheet));

Thanks,

Frank

It is behaving as advertised.


you are doing effectively
new StreamSource( "xss/style.xsl" );

StreamSource is expecting an URL, e.g. the result of a getResource.

You gave it a relative URL which I presume it is interpreting as:

file:xxx/style.xsl

a file in the CWD of the local file system, not a resource.

Try feeding the rnesult of a getResourceAsStream(" xss/style.xsl" );
instead where that file is stored under the current package name in
the jar.
