Answer 1

In application.properties (or how you name it) assuming you use maven and you execute your spring application in the default project you can refer to the file like:

my.file.name = ./src/main/resources/abs.jks

or if this is for test purpose only you can put in the test resources and refer like this:

my.file.name = ./src/test/resources/abs.jks

For me the best is to not be dependent on folder and always use classloader resource, but if you have to refer a path on the filesystem, from java code you can do this:

URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("abs.jks");
File file = Paths.get(url.toURI()).toFile().getAbsolutePath();
