Apache Commons Configuration: Save properties file within a jar

Question

All the apologies for disturbing you. I have an issue with the apache commons configuration. I have a properties file that is located at the src folder of an application I am building (with Eclipse). When I run the app and trying saving into the properties file from eclipse it works. However when I export it as a jar and try saving into the file when I run it from CLI I get the following error:

Could not save to URL rsrc:smpp-config.properties and trace shows: ava.net.UnknowServiceException: protocol does not support output.

Please help.

Thanks

where is the properties file located in your jar? – Shurmajee Jan 31 '13 at 10:28 — Shurmajee, Jan 31 '13 at 10:28
Yes the file is packaged inside the jar – Arsene Jan 31 '13 at 10:36 — Arsene, Jan 31 '13 at 10:36

You cannot modify a file inside a jar file.

The only solution is to unzip the jar file using ZipFile and then modify the file.
