Java's getResourceAsStream() is always returning null
- by Andreas Grech
I have the following structure in a Java Web Application:
TheProject
-- [Web Pages]
-- -- [WEB-INF]
-- -- -- abc.txt
-- -- index.jsp
-- [Source Packages]
-- -- [wservices]
-- -- -- WS.java
In WS.java, I am using the following code in a Web Method:
InputStream fstream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("abc.txt");
But it is always returning a null. I need to read from that file, and I read that if you put the files in WEB-INF, you can access them with getResourceAsStream, yet the method is always returning a null.
Any ideas of what I may be doing wrong?
