Mule: Unable to locate .json file when Deployable

Question

Could someone please help. I have read you recommendation but not able to understand that. I have to read one json file in cloudhub.

In my local repositories I have kept the .json file in location test/src/main/resources/input.json. And reading this from Java Class

private static final String jsonFilePath = "src\main\resources\input.json";

OR private static final String jsonFilePath = "input.json";

When .json file is in root folder of project

byte[] jsonFile = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(jsonFilePath));

Not able to find the "input.json" file when MDA moved to cloud hub and I am getting file not found exception in cloudhub. when I printed all my files in my project directory, I am not able to search any specific files from my project in cloudHub.

I have printed all files in my project directory structure in cloudHub but I not able to find "input.json". Could you please suggest.

Any help will be appreciated.

You need to load your application resources from the classpath, not from a path that is related to the original project structure.

Files in src\main\resources end-up at the root of the classpath in the packaged application. So the following should provide you with the file's content as a stream:

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("input.json");
