Hey,

I'm desparately looking for a way to access resources that are in my jar file. More specificly, after declaring

@Library("myLibrary.jar")

I want to be able to use an audio file (e.g. audio.wav) that has been packed inside of myLibrary.jar.

I use Netbeans and within my development environment, I would use one of the following statements:

ClassLoader.getSystemResource("audio.wav");

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("audio.wav");

this.getClass().getResource("/audio.wav");

of which all work fine. Within JForex however, ClassLoader only searches the current directory and the JForex/Strategies folder. It does not search the jar file loaded into the @Library annotation.

I hope it's somthing simple that I've missed but if the solution is complex, please dont hold back on detail. I am a little new to this jForex family but Java and I are well acquainted

Hello Mr A. Anderson,
Please try to use this statement:

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("resources/sample.wav");

Thanks for the reply,

Your suggestion does work but only for the initialising thread (the one that calls onStart()). It appears that the ticks all run on individual threads and so calling

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()

on another thread may at times return null.

I tried saving the working class loader to a static reference so I can use it again at any time but that attempt also proved unfruitful: the class loader is found but cannot find the resources.


Any other thoughts.
Mr A. Anderson
