The method to access a txt file using Springboot involves several steps:

  1. Add the necessary dependencies for Springboot and file handling to the project.
  2. Create a class that handles the file operations, such as reading, writing, or updating the file.
  3. Inject this class into the Springboot application context using the @Component annotation.
  4. Use the class to access the txt file in the application code, using the appropriate methods.

Here is an example of accessing a txt file in a Springboot application:

  1. Add the following dependencies to the project's pom.xml file:
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
  1. Create a class named FileHandler that has methods for reading and writing to a txt file:
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import java.io.*;

@Component
public class FileHandler {
   public String getFileAsString(String filePath) throws IOException {
       StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
       BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePath));
       String line;
       while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
           sb.append(line).append("\n");
       }
       br.close();
       return sb.toString();
   }
   public void writeToFile(String filePath, String text) throws IOException {
       BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filePath));
       bw.write(text);
       bw.flush();
       bw.close();
   }
}
  1. Inject the FileHandler class into the application context using the @Component annotation:
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
   @Autowired
   FileHandler fileHandler;
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
   }
}
  1. Use the FileHandler methods to access the txt file in the application code:
@RestController
public class FileController {
   @Autowired
   FileHandler fileHandler;
   @GetMapping("/file")
   public String getFileContent() throws IOException {
       String content = fileHandler.getFileAsString("path/to/file.txt");
       return content;
   }
   @PostMapping("/file")
   public void updateFileContent(@RequestBody String content) throws IOException {
       fileHandler.writeToFile("path/to/file.txt", content);
   }
}

These methods allow you to read and write to txt files as needed in your Springboot application.
