Answer 1

We had a similar problem and our fault was that we tried to access the static resource through the raw path instead of using the input stream the resource is providing - the following code works for us even when deploying a non-exploded .war-file.

final URL resource = this.getClass().getResource(FILE);

try (final InputStream inputStream = resource.openStream();
     final InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
     final BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader)) {
    // Use bufferedReader to read the content
} catch (IOException e) {
    // ...
}
