How to read and render an XML file from TIBCO BusinessEvents Project Resource using Relative path?

There is an XML file inside your project and the requirement is to render this file and copy the output to a concept. Since the file is part of the project structure, you need to use the relative path.

Example:

String sTest=File.readFileAsString("Concepts/Customer.concept");
String sRenderedXML=XPath.evalAsString("xpath:...);

The working directory needs to be set to the project directory to get the sample to work in Studio. You can also start be-engine.exe in the console and change directory to the project folder first.

Example:

cd PROJECT_HOME
BE_HOME/bin/be-engine --propFile BE_HOME/bin/be-engine.tra -c Deployments/default.cdd <locationOfEar>
