Thread: How to read html inside a jar ?

Hello,

I don't manage to read html code from my java application, both nested in a runnable jar.

I tried this:

********************************
...
String indexName = "index.html";
URL address = getClass().getResource(indexName);
String filePath=address.toString();
JFrame viewerFrameInputFile = new DocumentViewer(filePath);
}

with DocumentViewer being the well-known class extending JFrame
and using

JEditorPane viewer = new JEditorPane ();
viewer.setPage (new URL (filePath));


********************************

The problem is that the html code is loaded but is not interpreted as such ...


When using the same program, outside the runnable jar, all is ok.
Thus, the problem seems that setPage is unable to set the proper
contentType when the HTML page is put into the jar.

Does anyone experienced reading html code from a jar ?
Thanks in advance !!!
Eric

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, I tried this, this didn't work either.
However, meanwhile, I have found a solution:

- using Eclipse, choose export/Runnable JAR file/ and then select
"Extract required libraries into generated JAR" and not
(as I did ...) "Package required libraries into generated JAR" !

- of course, tell eclipse where to find the html files (through Build Path/Add Class Folder)

and then it is ok with:
URL address = getClass().getResource(indexName);
String filePath=address.toString();
JFrame viewerFrameInputFile = new DocumentViewer(filePath);

I don't know exactly what Eclipse changed in building the archive,
but it is ok now !

Thanks again.
Eric
