How to target resource file on spring project?

Question

Maybe this is dupe. If so, sorry. I can't find the answer.

I want to add image on excel spreadsheet for my spring project.
(Spring boot 1.4.2 + JExcelAPI)

Where I have to put the image file?
And how can I target that file?
Not work as below.

new WritableImage(0, 0, 1, 1, 
  new File(getClass().getResource("/src/main/resource/image.png"))
);

It's better to use the file bytes (as far as I can see WritableImage does not have a constructor with InputStrema). As it was suggested by @EssexBoy the path should be `\image.png`. But access getClass().getResourceAsStream("\image.png") and get the bytes from the stream. Then just use the bytes in constructor. — StanislavL, May 08 '17 at 07:54

You can do this:

new WritableImage(0, 0, 1, 1, IOUtils.toByteArray(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/image.png")));
