I have the following error in my Spring Boot Application:
There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
inStream parameter is nullThe application runs without errors in IntelliJ. After packaging to .jar or .war its unable to find my properties file anymore.
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(WebtvApplication.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("sender.properties"));here's a screenshot of my directory with the properties file:
My pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The problem is in your pom.xml:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/webapp</directory> </resource> </resources>
</build>Just remove the resources section and it will work, you forced maven to take resources especially from inexistent src/main/webapp dir.
