Camel properties file not found in class path

Question

I am tring to load the resource: src/com/company/my.properties, but it can't be found on the classpath.

Error

Failed to create route route1: Route(route1)[[From[properties:{{fromroute}}]] ->
[Choice[[When[... because of Failed to resolve endpoint: properties://%7B%7Bfromroute%7D%7D due to:
Properties file com/company/my.properties not found in classpath

camel core:2.18
camel properties read refer : Doc

The my.properties file contains a 'fromroute' key:

fromroute=file:/a/b

The following snippet shows how I'm trying to load the file.

PropertiesComponent pc = new PropertiesComponent();
pc.setLocation("classpath:com/company/my.properties");
context.addComponent("properties", pc);

....
  from("properties:{{fromroute}}")
....

For the classloader to find your properties file it should be located somewhere in src/main/resources. Or in your case src/main/resources/com/company. — Luciano van der Veekens, Jan 17 '17 at 08:19
@luc14n0 thanks for your feed back, I moved properties file in to class folder — user881703, Jan 17 '17 at 08:31

my.properties file should be moved in to src/main/resources (not src/com/company) and update the setLocation() path:

pc.setLocation("my.properties");

For the classloader to find a resource, it needs to be located in src/main/resources/, e.g. in your case: src/main/resources/com/company/my.properties, otherwise the resource won't end up in the JAR file and its not accessible at runtime.

Dependent on the type of ClassLoader you're using to load the resource, you either need to include or exclude the package name.

For example:

getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("my.properties");

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/com/company/my.properties");
