Andy-
I use the getResource call, and I think all you need to do is add a /
at the beginning of your file location:
XMLUtil.class.getResource("/hdom-xml-map.xml")
so that the JVM knows you're looking at the base of the classpath. It
seems to me relative locations should be possible, but I've only ever
had luck with absolute paths for getResource.
HTH,

Hi again,
I'm trying to package my Castor interface as a JAR package, so that several
"client" applications can use my object models to access our database. Ideally,
there would be no need for each application to have a local copy of the mapping
file -- that would be obtained directly from the JAR and hence be automatically
in sync with the model.
I'm not sure how to get hold of the mapping file from within a JAR file,
though. Just trying
public class XMLUtil {
...
public static Mapping getMapping() {
Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
try {
mapping.loadMapping("hdom-xml-map.xml");
...
}
return mapping;
}
doesn't work either when building the JAR (I'm using Maven, so have to use
"mapping.loadMapping("target/classes/hdom-xml-map.xml");" --- the classes
directory isn't automatically checked) nor when calling XMLUtil.getMapping()
from a client application. I've had a go at using
XMLUtil.class.getResource("hdom-xml-map.xml") but that just returns null, even
though the file I'm looking for is in that JAR:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.../hepdata-migration$ jar tf
/mt/home/buckley/.m2/repository/cedar/hepdata/hepdata-xml/1.0-SNAPSHOT/hepdata-xml-1.0-20061213.131638-7.jar
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
cedar/
cedar/hepdata/
cedar/hepdata/xml/
hdom-xml-map.xml
cedar/hepdata/xml/XMLUtil.class
...
Any suggestions?
Andy
