Please give me some advice. Thank you

Solution

I usually put the file into the resource and load it as this getClass(). getResourceAsStream(“my.xsl”).

Please note that. If you put the file in the same package as the test, just enter the local name Otherwise, you should provide an absolute path starting with / If your application does not know how to use streams and needs files, use this getClass(). getResource(“my.xsl”). getFile().
