• The resource in the jar file must be qualified with same package name as the class you call getResourceAsStream from.
  • I am trying to read a text file as a resource using Class.getResourceAsStream(), but it is returning null. ... So why does Class.getResourceAsStream() return null?
  • The classLoader's getResourceAsStream() method is actually intended to be used for relative paths (otherwise you would just use a FileInputStream).
  • Then getResourceAsStream can find the corresponding file according to this xml file. ... You can use this class to test the use of getResourceAsStream.
  • I understand that getResourceAsStream returns an instream while getResource returns URL (which am not sure whether a URL is a path including c:/ or what)?
  • Config.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("MyTest.txt"); byte [] b = new byte[256]; int val = 0; String txt = null; do {.
  • Code: BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/res/items.csv")))
  • getResourceAsStream(java.lang.ClassLoader loader, java.lang.String resource) Returns a resource on the classpath as a Stream object.
  • getResourceAsStream() locates and loads a file/resource using classloader of classname i.e using the ClassLoader of the class it is called on.
  • There are two ways to load resources in Java, one by using * getResourceAsStream() and getResource() method from java.lang.Class.
