Deploy Maven Application in iFlow

kaisand28 — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 12:40:15 GMT

When I deploy a compiled Maven application JAR in an iFlow and the Maven application accesses files under resources in the JAR itself the files cannot be found. When I run this locally there are no problems. This is how I try to do it:

ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()

InputStream inStream = classLoader.getResourceAsStream("/Workday.xsd")

How can I access the resources in a Maven project deployed to CPI?

Hello Andre,

it works for me:

InputStream ris = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/name.txt")

Did you check compiled jar actually has Workday.xsd in a root?

Hi Ilya,

thank you for your answer.

It does not work for me. The InputStream is null. The xsd is under resources in the JAR.

you'd better to check it in JAR. In my case (gradle-driven build) /src/resources translates to root folder of JAR so this code works well. I checked it in CPI of course. Do you use Eclipse resource loader? it shadows some data.

A clarification: my code is put into JAR, close to resource. It's not groovy script on CPI-side, it's groovy-packaged into JAR code.
