如何从Java中的类路径加载“ context.xml”？

Question

I am trying to load my spring context.xml file using Java from the classpath. My context.xml file is in src/main/resources .

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = null;
    try {
        context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:context.xml");
        context.registerShutdownHook();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (context != null) {
            context.close();
        }
    }
}

Above code works fine when I am running in my eclipse. But as soon as I package it into a runnable jar by right clicking the project and select export as a runnable jar and then run the jar from a ubuntu machine as -

java -jar test.jar

Then I am getting below exception -

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [context.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [context.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Is there anything I am missing?

Answer 1

You probably didn't include the resources in src/main/resources in your jar. I don't believe the Maven plugin is involved in Eclipse's Jar Export utility.
