Trouble getting to a file

[Darrin Smith]

I have an xslt file that I need to read in. The directory structure looks like this:

NetbeansProjects
>CustomerService
>>build
>>>classes
>>>>customerservice
>>>>>MAIN CLASS IS HERE
>>>>>com
>>>>>>mycorp
>>>>>>>myservice
>>>>>>>>proxy
>>>>>>>>>customer
>>>>>>>>>>ALL THE CLASS FILES ARE HERE
>>>>>resources (note, same level as customerservice under classes)
>>>>>>myfile.xslt


I've tried using getResourceAsStream to no avail. What I have tried is:

public class XsltCommon
{
private static final String DEFAULT_XSLT_FILE = File.separator + "myfile.xslt";
private String mXslt = null;
public String getFilter()
{
if (mXslt == null)
{
mXslt = getXslt();
}
return mXslt;
}
private String getXslt()
{
String filter = null;
InputStream stream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(DEFAULT_XSLT_FILE);
if (stream == null)
{
System.out.println("Could not find file: " + DEFAULT_XSLT_FILE);
File file = new File(".");
System.out.println("Current locaiton is: " + file.getAbsolutePath());
}
else
{
filter = convertStreamToString(stream);
}
return filter;
}
public String convertStreamToString(InputStream is)
{
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try
{
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
try
{
is.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
}

When I run it I get this:

Could not find file: \myfile.xslt
Current locaiton is: C:\NetBeansProjects\CustomerService\.

What am I doing wrong?

Got it.

Need to use:

URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(DEFAULT_XSLT_FILE);

and also prefix the file with the root directory like this:

private static final String DEFAULT_XSLT_FILE = "resources/ClcsProxyRetrieveCustomerResponseFilter.xslt";

Resources always work with /, so replace File.separator with that.
