I have a situation where an app I'm writing works fine from the IDE but fails when deployed into a jar. What I see is NULL pointer exception. What I'm trying to do is get a URL resource of a directory and then iterate through the files in that directory. The URL seems to work but I can't find a way to get the files from it.
So I can't seem to get a file list (because this is really a resouce list inside the jar).
Any ideas?
TIA
URL scriptFolder = getClass().getResource("/scripts/");
log.debug(scriptFolder);
if (scriptFolder != null) {
File folder = new File(scriptFolder.getFile());
File[] files = folder.listFiles();
// files is NULL here.
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
if (files[i].isFile()) {
log.debug("File " + files[i].getName());
}
}
}
