Update:
I tried this webapp in 'apache-tomcat-4.1.39-LE-jdk14' and the code in question
works fine. So my question is what happened to tomcat 5 and after that makes
resource loading so difficult?
It's a very simple call to
'MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("myresource.xml")' and the resource is
definitely present.
Thanks
Tim

Subject: java.lang.NullPointerException loading resource from classpath
Hi there, I have what seems to be a very simple problem.
I've deployed a web application to tomcat. But in the application, when I try
to load a resource (an XML file), it comes back as null. This is very
frustrating, because some of the most basic approaches are not working to give
me my XML resource. I'm using the
'MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("myresource.xml")' method, and I've tried
the following:
* placing the resource in i) WEB-INF/lib, ii) WEB-INF/classes
* using tomcat versions i) 5.5.27 and ii) 6.0.18
* setting the classpath in i) conf/catalina.properties ii) manually in
bin/catalina.sh
Can anyone help me here? This should be dead simple, so I feel like I'm missing
something basic.
Thanks
Tim
