Unable to access jarfile

Solution 1:

Right click on the file and select Copy.

Now, say you are executing the file using this in the directory with the file in:

java -jar ./settask.jar

Type the beginning of the command (java -jar), and then paste -Ctrl +Shift+V - you should end up with something like this, where is specifies the full path to the file:

java -jar file:///home/wilf/settask/settask.jar

Remove the file:// and press ↵:

java -jar /home/wilf/settask/settask.jar

If it works, then the same command should work in your script.

I hope this answer is OK, I think you are asking about bash scripts.

N.B:

./ tells it the command to search the directory it is currently in.

Havingfile:// at the beginning means it won't work.

Solution 2:

I ran into Unable to access jarfile when trying to start a Spring Boot SysVinit service.

It turned out the directory and content in /srv/myapp/ had wrong ownership.

Running sudo sh -c "chown -R myapp:myapp /srv/myapp/ && chmod -R u=rx,g=,o= /srv/myapp" gave all relevant files and directories correct ownership and permissions.
