How to read a file inside a jar using the command line?


It's simple. Assume the following.

Your jar file : myJarFile.jar

First you can list the contents of the jar to find the file you want using the following command.

                             jar tvf myJarFile.jar

Then from the list, pick the file you want and type in the following command to see the content of that file.

Assuming the file within the jar is myFolder/myFile.txt,

               unzip -p myJarFile.jar myFolder/myFile.txt

Then the contents of the file could be seen in the command line.


Cheers.

How to import the Public Certificate of one WSO2 product to the trust store of another?

To demonstrate this point, I will use the 2 products WSO2 API Manager 2.1.0 (referred as APIM from here onwards) and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator 6.1.1 (referred as EI from here onwards). When using EI as the Business Process Server during configuration of Workflows in APIM, one step to perform is to import the public certificate of EI to the truststore of APIM [1]. So now let's see how this can be done. Step 1: Go to <EI_HOME>/repository/resources/security/ folder and execute the following keytool command. This command is used to export the public certificate of EI as a certificate file called wso2carbon.cer. Since the default keystore in EI is wso2carbon.jks, we have specified it as the keystore and the default alias is wso2carbon. Provide wso2carbon as the keystore password when prompted as it is the default password. After executing the above command from within the security folder in EI, you will see that a file with the name of wso2carbon.cer is created...

Integrating the JaCoCo code coverage plugin into a Java Maven project for unit testing with testng

I’ll show how to do this for both offline instrumentation and for using the JaCoCo runtime agent. It is very easy because you don’t need to change the usual way of writing your tests. Its only a matter of changing the pom.xml file in your maven project. 1. JaCoCo code coverage with JaCoCo runtime agent Since we use testng for unit test writing, we put the following dependency under dependencies. < dependencies > < dependency > < groupId > org.testng </ groupId > < artifactId > testng </ artifactId > < version > ${testng.version} </ version > < scope > test </ scope > </ dependency > </ dependencies > Then under build, we first need to have the JaCoCo plugin put under the plugins section of your project pom.xml. (Note - this is the parent pom we are referring to) This plugin configuration...
