java webstart - how to read xml from jar

2003-03-20 01:12

I read a xml file into my java application.With the following line:

 

JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile("xmlfile.xml");

 

The problem is when the class file and xml is complied to a jar.The application can not find the xml file.

 

Is there another way to read this xml file when it is in a jar?

Hi there,

 

You could use the following to complile:

JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport( this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("xmlfile.xml"));
