Accessing Spring Boot resource as File in Controller

Question

I need to access the files I have in /src/main/resources/static/myfolder in my Spring Boot Controller using the java.io.File API. I tried

File folder = new File("/myfolder/");

But it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Answer 1

This should work

File file = new File(getClass().getResource("/static/myfolder").getFile());
File[] files = file.listFiles();
