#Easiest fix, unsure why FileIO is not properly working.

Trying to get my project to read in my inFile. I compile the program to work, and the file cannot be found for some reason. My .txt is outside the src file and inside the project build, basically the same level as my src file.

Show me the code

For files within your jar, you’re gonna wanna use Class#getResource/Class#getResourceAsStream rather than using file io

Here's my program

glacial ridge
lethal fulcrum
glacial ridge
#

try /inFile.txt

lethal fulcrum
glacial ridge
#

does the absolute path match for any of the two versions match the expected path ?

glacial ridge
# lethal fulcrum

to phrase it differently is the absolute path of the file matching the absolute path of the file when checking in the explorer ?

void pollen

Also double check that you've actually set up that file to be included when your project is built.
You can quickly check this by just unzipping the compiled jar and seeing if it's even in there.

That looks like it would be a .war, not a .jar.

#

A nonstandalone web app that needs to be run in a container

#

The container isn't going to use the project's "src" dir as working directory

#

Nor is it going to inspect it as a source for resource files

#

If that file is supposed to be part of that application, then it should be a resource of it. As this is not a Maven layout, the simpler to achieve that is to put that file alongside the .java files

#

Then, it cannot be read with filesystem IO, because in the end it's supposed to be part of a .war archive, not a file on the filesystem. So it will need to be read with getResourceAsStream()
