Null in Reading the Application Context when i Export my app

[mmrs]

Hi all,
I Have a desktop application that read images from scanner and save them into Alfresco repository.

the program works fine inside the IDE [eclipse] …
but i need it to work as a jar file to be executed from .bat file.

when i execute the jar file it keep giving me :
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.alfresco.util.RuntimeSystemPropertiesSetter.postProcessBeanFactory(RuntimeS
        at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.invokeBeanFactor

        at org.alfresco.util.ApplicationContextHelper.getApplicationContext(ApplicationCon
        at org.alfresco.sample.FirstFoundationClient.main(FirstFoundationClient.java:70)

It's might be cause of reading the alfresco-jmxrmi.password file from inside the application jar.But i don't know how to solve the problem.
i need the application to be assembled in a jar file.That's why i can't extract the config.jar content that contain that file.

help is appreciated
Best regards
mmrs

Hi Mmrs,

It does indeed sound like there is an issue with the way you are reading a property file from within a jar.

Have a look at this article from Keenertech: Reading a Resource From a Jar File.

Good luck,
