Path to file in JAR

Hi,

I've got xml files in my source folder which I want to add to a JAR file. However when I added them to the JAR and put add the JAR to the build path, the paths which previous pointed to these files now throw "file not found" exceptions. Therefore the path that throws the error is

url="/WEB-INF/src/definition.xml"

I'm just wondering what should I change the path to so that it can reference my xml file in the JAR

Thanking you in advance

Mike

To access a file inside a JAR, you need to create a URL, like so:

Code:

URL yourURL = Classname.class.getResource("path/to/your/file.xml");
