Reading file from resources folder

Below code can be used to read the files from resources folder of a Spring Boot application.

InputStream is = MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream(PATH_TO_RESOURCE_FILE);

For example:

InputStream is = MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/static/pdf/Test.pdf");

If you are using JDK 8+, then it is best practice to use this along with try.

try (InputStream is = MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream(PATH_TO_RESOURCE_FILE)) {
    // Your code to process the file
}
