Resource FileNotFoundException when using executable jar command with spring boot

Question

To enable https in my spring-boot app I did the following.

@Bean
@Inject
public EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer containerCustomizer() throws FileNotFoundException
{
    final String absoluteKeystoreFile = ZenoTuringServiceApp.class.getClassLoader().getResource("test.jks").getFile();

    return (ConfigurableEmbeddedServletContainer factory) -> {
        TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory containerFactory = (TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory) factory;
        containerFactory.addConnectorCustomizers((TomcatConnectorCustomizer) (Connector connector) -> {
            connector.setSecure(true);
            connector.setScheme("https");
            connector.setAttribute("keystoreFile", absoluteKeystoreFile);
            connector.setAttribute("keystorePass", "test");
            connector.setAttribute("keystoreType", "JKS");
            connector.setAttribute("clientAuth", "false");
            connector.setAttribute("sslProtocol", "TLS");
            connector.setAttribute("SSLEnabled", true);
        });
    };
}

If I run it using mvn spring-boot:run it works as expected.

But when I run using the executable jar with java -jar target/xxx-xxx-service-0.1.17-SNAPSHOT.jar I get the FileNotFoundException.

Answer 1

The comments above and this code helped me..

// support loading the JKS from the classpath (to get around Tomcat limitation)
private static File getTuringKeyStoreFile() throws IOException {
    ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource("test.jks");

    // Tomcat won't allow reading File from classpath so read as InputStream into temp File
    File jks = File.createTempFile("ssl_keystore", ".jks");
    InputStream inputStream = resource.getInputStream();
    try {
        FileUtils.copyInputStreamToFile(inputStream, jks);
    } finally {
        IOUtils.closeQuietly(inputStream);
    }

    return jks;
}
