This is never legal, unless you implement your own static Foo.getClass
method, which doesn't make too much sense. The use of a singleton or any
other idiom is irrelevant.

If the constructor is private, there's still a "this" pointer available.
I think this is an academic argument anyway, since the OP was
complaining that their InputStream was "blank" (whatever that means)
instead of NULL, which is what one would expect if the file wasn't being
loaded properly.
It's clear that compiling isn't the problem... runtime behavior is what
is not working.
