Can not locate resource in root of executable jar

Question

I have a program that is configured to use an Apache Shiro ini file for storing its users and permissions.

The following code works in the IDE

Code

public static String loginModule(String heelName, String heelPass) {

        Factory<SecurityManager> factory = new IniSecurityManagerFactory("classpath:shiro.ini");
        SecurityManager securityManager = factory.getInstance();

        SecurityUtils.setSecurityManager(securityManager);

        Subject usr = SecurityUtils.getSubject();
        UsernamePasswordToken token = new UsernamePasswordToken(heelName, heelPass);


        try {
            usr.login(token);
        } catch (AuthenticationException ae) {
            return ae.toString();
        }

but when compiled with maven javafx plugin, the program is unable to find the shiro.ini file in its classpath. The following error is produced:

Error

Since this is a maven project, the ini is located in the /src/main/resources folder when looking at the project source code.

I have verified that the shiro.ini file is in fact present in the root directory of the executable jar. Any suggestions on how to overcome this error??

I would suggest to try:

new IniSecurityManagerFactory("classpath:/shiro.ini");

instead of:

new IniSecurityManagerFactory("classpath:shiro.ini");

thank you for your suggenstion! However this causes the same afformentioned error to occour in both the compiled version and in the IDE. – Hudson Spangler Nov 14 '15 at 19:48

The IDE is more forgiving than the compiled program. It still is able to find "Shiro.ini" when given "shiro.ini" however the compiled program requires that this capitalization error be corrected.

new IniSecurityManagerFactory("classpath:shiro.ini");

corrected to:

new IniSecurityManagerFactory("classpath:Shiro.ini");

rectifies the issue
