Question

I need to read a resource file from classpath in my BlackBerry application. The directory structure of my project is pretty common: under src directory there are 2 child dirs, one represents source packages root, another – resources root.

When I try to read any resource from classpath Class.getResourceAsStream method retures null

    InputStream rStream = null;
    String path = "/res/default_config.xml";
    try {
        rStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream(path);
    } finally {
        try {
            if (rStream != null) {
                byte[] data = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(rStream);
                System.out.println(new String(data));
                rStream.close();
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }

How should I read classpath resource properly?

Answer 1

And have you tried to put xml file directly into src folder and use getClass().getResourceAsStream(“default_config.xml”); ?

Actually cannot reproduce.
Tested on simulator 8800 eJDE 4.2.1.
File was placed in src/res/ folder.
