Hi @long quartz it's done with input stream I have used getResourceStream method but there is one issue after taking this input I am writing that file using OutputStream but not able to give the absolute path of /src/main/resources to create new file in it

[long quartz]

so you want to write a new file under src/main/resources?

e.g. a new xls?

[sacred stratus]

Yes I am taking one template as a input and writing a new file with all the data

[long quartz]

what happens if you write it to /myfile.xlsx

(not sure this will worok)

[sacred stratus]

Excel is created but it is not found any where

[long quartz]

click on src/main/resources and f5?

[sacred stratus]

No it's not creating in the resources folder I don't know why,but the file is generating

[long quartz]

i think at runtime it doesn't actually run with src/main/resources as the resource root but probably target/classes (if maven)

so i don't know if putting things into src/main/resources (i.e. the resource root at build time) will ever work

unless of course if you specify the absolute OS path to src/main/resources then it will work

What I came to know is in the resources folder we can only read but to write or add any file we can use the absolute path for OutputStream and write the file in that folder... thanks I got my answers @long quartz
