Answer 1

You show src -> main -> etc., but that doesn't matter for runtime.

If you really are going to have that file in the final application (jar? war?), be sure that you pack that file really as a part of the final application.

And share that structure here.

With Spring Java & Annotation Configuration you don't need to worry about ClassPathResource object. There is just enough to declare it like this in the appropriate @Configuration:

@Value("com/my/package/name/privateKey.txt")
private Resource privateKey;
