File Not Found when running on tomcat server

Question

First, I run my method as a java application in eclipse and it works fine.

Then, when I run it on the tomcat server, it blows up.

Here is the code:

try(BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(Constants.USERMAP_FILE_LOCATION))))

Here is the Exception:

com.mycompany.is.dt.Exception.SubversionUtilityException: usermap (No such file or directory)

I also tried changing the path. I right clicked on the file in my project and went to properties. It gave me the path /DevToolsSvn2Git/usermap but I still got this excetion.

com.mycompany.is.dt.Exception.SubversionUtilityException: /DevToolsSvn2Git/usermap (No such file or directory)

Is something changing in the WAR that I am not aware of?

I would suggest implementing the top answer from this question to see what folder your application is running in. This will help you figure out where your file/folder reference needs to be to avoid the FileNotFoundException

You must use AbsolutePath, which is sth. like

"C://User//Project//Git//DevToolsSvn2Git/usermap"

does your file located in resources?? – Azat Nugusbayev Dec 30 '15 at 17:12
`InputStream input = Main.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(filename);` – Azat Nugusbayev Dec 30 '15 at 17:15
which package are you getting Main from? – Chris Bolton Dec 30 '15 at 18:51
`Main` is Main class, it does not matter where it is located, you may use any class – Azat Nugusbayev Dec 30 '15 at 18:54

it is just sample of how you may get absolute path, the deal is about getting the **AbsolutePath**, there are other ways – Azat Nugusbayev Dec 30 '15 at 18:55
