Unable to load XSL file from JAR file

Question

I have a java file which uses XSL file to perform transformation. Code used is:

FileInputStream inXLSFile = new FileInputStream("ListApi.xsl");
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); StreamSource xslStream = new StreamSource(inXLSFile); After this a jar file is generated. from the jar file I am not able to use the XSL. It says 'File not found'. Please give pointers.

Answer 1

change

FileInputStream inXLSFile = new FileInputStream("ListApi.xsl");

to

InputStream inXLSFile = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("ListApi.xsl");
