Spring read file on network : Sometimes files which is available on the network can be access using the url protocol like http://, ftp://, file:// etc… using UrlResource.
Below SpringResourceFileRead.java class will read file named ResourceTestFile.txt available locally on C drive. This can be access using file:// protocol shown below:
package com.javahonk; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.util.Scanner; import org.springframework.core.io.Resource; import org.springframework.core.io.UrlResource; public class SpringResourceFileRead { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { InputStream inputStream = null; Resource resource = null; Scanner scanner = null; try { resource = new UrlResource("file:///C:/ResourceTestFile.txt"); inputStream = resource.getInputStream(); scanner = new Scanner(inputStream); while (scanner.hasNext()) { System.out.println(scanner.nextLine()); } } finally { if (null != inputStream) { inputStream.close(); } if (null != scanner) { scanner.close(); } } } }
