Help loading a list of files from directory

[jkoorts]

Hi all,

Ok so I defined a bean to inject the path of the DIR of the files I want to load. Doing a getFiles() I get the file but now the format of the paths changed.

public void setJadDir(Resource jadDir) {
		Assert.isTrue(jadDir.exists());
		try {
			File directory = jadDir.getFile();
                        File[] files = directory.listFiles();
			for (File file : files) {
				if (!file.isFile()) {

At this stage jadDir's path if I keep my mouse over the variable is "/WEB-INF/jadjars". Great, but keeping my mouse over file shows "C:/java/apps/...../WEB-INF/jadjars/myjad.jad"

Why did the format now change?

The problem with this is that,

   inputStream = context.getResourceAsStream(file.getPath())

does not work.

So fine I then tried to substring that long filepath to the short version which does work - eg. I want /WEB-INF/jadjars/myjad.jad cause that works fine.

String contextPath = context.getContextPath();       
int idx = contextPath.indexOf(contextPath + File.separatorChar + "WEB-INF");

Guess what, idx == -1, because even though im running a Windows box, the path that context spits out countains forward slashes, while File.separatorChar is a backslash.

So I'm screwed.

What now?

solved,

I did this:

Resource jadDir;
String path = jadDir.getFilename();
String filename = file.getName();
context.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/" + path + "/" + filename);
