Loading an XML file in a classpath

[Vrinda Werdel]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where I have a an XML config file. the path of this config file is specified in the classpath. I need to load this config file at run time by just specifying the name of the file.

Eg. Assume the file abc.xml is in c:/temp/abc.xml. and my classpath is set c:/temp;


and I want to do something like this.

File file = new File("abc.xml");

Does the JRE furnish the complete the path of the file at run time?

Is something like this possible?

regards
Vrinda

You can use this to get the URL of the file:

URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("/abc.xml");
