How to get the classpath resource basename of a config file in Spring proejct?

Question

In my Spring proejct, I created a config.conf to store some variables.

And in a class I need to read these variables.

I am using the config library, https://github.com/lightbend/config .

And as the document says, I tried to used

private static final Config config = ConfigFactory.load(basename here goes here);

to load that config.conf file.

And by the document, https://lightbend.github.io/config/latest/api/com/typesafe/config/ConfigFactory.html#load-java.lang.String- , this method receives a string as classpath resource basename.

I am wondering how to get this "classpath resource basename" of the config.conf file?

My project's structure:

Thanks!

Answer 1

you can access file like this.

URL url = EmailService.class.getClassLoader().getResource("config.conf");

to load config, you can access path like below

config.load(url.getPath());
