[SOLVED] Storing JDBC Oracle Wallet in project

Storing JDBC Oracle Wallet in project

I have been storing my wallet inside my project's resources folder, and am able to access it using the following string just fine inside eclipse

final static String DB_URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@db_high?TNS_ADMIN="
    + (Database.class.getClassLoader().getResource("Wallet_DB")
        .getPath().replaceFirst("/",""));

However, when I compile it into a jar, and then run it from command line I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal
char <:> at index 4:
file:C:/Users/Me/Documents/test.jar!/Wallet_DB\ojdbc.properties

I know I could fix this by just moving the wallet to be right next to my jar file, outside the project, and accessing it with a relative file path, but is there anyway to fix this so I can keep the wallet inside the jar?

Solution

JDBC can only accept a path which is accessible by new File(path). So here the path starts with "file:..." is invalid.
