在Eclipse中访问Java项目中WEB-INF下的ftl文件

Question

I am using Eclipse Neon.2 Release (4.6.2) for my Java Spring MVC Web Application . I am trying to access an ftl file placed in a subfolder under WEB-INF and read its value to a string. I am using the following code:

Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/modules/abc/sub1/sub2/message.ftl");
InputStream resourceInputStream = resource.getInputStream();
String message = IOUtils.toString(resourceInputStream, "UTF-8");

But I am getting a file not found exception. The exact path of the file is /my-project/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/modules/abc/sub1/sub2/message.ftl

How can I read the contents of that file to a string.

Answer 1

the path should be /WEB-INF/jsp/modules/abc/sub1/sub2/message.ftl . src/main/whatever is a maven convention, your container doesn't know anything about it.

The war file deployed in the container will not have any src/main/*
