hi chris this is steve Burrus and the line of code in question is the while loop : "while( ( r = in.read(by)) != -1) {" the server error for a long time has always pointed to that line of code creating the NPE.

Steve,

here is the entire code for the image servlet which I seem to be
repeatedly getting that NullPointerException java exception. Any ideas
what the problem is ? :

What line of code does the NPE show? Please give us the line of code and
not just the line number.

I'm guessing that your JPG file is not being found, so
sc.getResourceAsStream is returning null.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this generally checks for null:

if(null == in)
  // handle the null condition

Is there something that I'm not getting??!
