Getting a resource file as an InputStream in Playframework

Play.classloader.getResourceAsStream(filepath);

filepath - relative to what? project root? playframework root? absolute path?

Or maybe the usage Play.classloader.getResourceAsStream is wrong?

Solution

  • In the Play Framework the "conf" directory is on the classpath, so you can put your file there and open it with getResourceAsStream.

    For example if you create a file "conf/foo.txt" you can open it using

    Play.classloader.getResourceAsStream("foo.txt");
