Vertx web. Get resource from JAR's root

[Alexey Ivanov]

Hello,

I have a JAR file with index.html and several other HTML/JS files in its root. 

I want to serve this files using StaticHandler:

router.route("/static/*").handler(StaticHandler.create(""))

But requests like /static/ or /static/index.html return 404, because method io.vertx.core.impl.FileResolver#resolveFile returns null, because it is called with parameter "/index.html" and cl.getResource(fileName) at line 111 couldn't find such resource.

Is any way to fix this problem?

try to put the static resource inside the fatjar... i am facing the same problem when deploy it to openshift using diy.

using maven?
put static files in resources/webroot

it is the default webroot

public interface StaticHandler extends Handler<RoutingContext> {
    String DEFAULT_WEB_ROOT = "webroot";

remove the empty string from your create call
router.route("/static/*").handler(StaticHandler.create())

Thank you for your answer, Patrick, but unfortunately I can't move these resources to any other directory into JAR, because this JAR is not mine, and I retrieve it from remote maven repository. Now I'm using maven-dependency-plugin to unpack the resources and put them into webroot directory in my JAR, but I'm sure there should be more proper way to serve resources from a root of a JAR.

I think you will need a custom static handler. which loads the static resources from the classpath then.
using getResource to find the file

You can set the webroot when creating the StaticHandler, but surely serving files from the top is a really bad idea... won't this mean the public will have access to all your class files and any other files in your application?
