Introducing Spring Framework

Chapter 6 ■ Using Resource Files
@Component("menu")
public class ResourceLoaderMenu {
@Autowired
private ResourceLoader resourceLoader;
}
public void printMenu(String menuFile){
try{
InputStream stream = resourceLoader.getResource(menuFile).getInputStream();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(stream);
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
out.println(scanner.nextLine());
}
scanner.close();
stream.close();
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Listing 6-6 shows the usage of the org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader class, and also the
@Autowired annotation that will be instantiated by the Spring container and get it ready for when it is being used,
like in the printMenu method. Next, let’s see Listing 6-7, your XML configuration, and Listing 6-8, your unit test.
Listing 6-7. mydocuments-resourceloader-injection=context.xml
Listing 6-7 only shows the tag that will tell the Spring container to look for
annotated code and identify all the classes and instances to create.
Listing 6-8 shows your unit test, and how you can load your menu.txt file. As you can see, you have several
options for resource files. Running your unit test with
gradle :ch06:test
