Usage of getResourceAsStream in Java

First, there are several getresourceasstream in Java:

1. Class.getresourceasstream (String Path): path does not start with '/' by default when the resource is taken from the package in which the class is located, and the '/' begins with the

Classpath under Root. It only constructs an absolute path through path, and eventually it gets the resources from the ClassLoader.

2. Class.getClassLoader.getResourceAsStream (String path): By default is obtained from the classpath root, path cannot start with '/' and is ultimately determined by

ClassLoader get resources.

3. ServletContext. getResourceAsStream (String path): The default is to fetch resources from the WebApp root directory, whether or not tomcat under path begins with '/'.

Of course, this is related to specific container implementations.

4. The application built-in object under JSP is an implementation of the above ServletContext.

Second, getResourceAsStream usage is roughly the following:

First: The file to be loaded and the. class file are in the same directory, for example: Com.x.y has a class me.class, and a resource file Myfile.xml

Then, you should have the following code:

Me.class.getResourceAsStream ("Myfile.xml");

Second: In the subdirectory of the Me.class directory, for example: Com.x.y under the class Me.class, while the Com.x.y.file directory has a resource file Myfile.xml

Then, you should have the following code:

Me.class.getResourceAsStream ("File/myfile.xml");

Third: Not under the Me.class directory, also not under the subdirectory, for example: Com.x.y under the class Me.class, while in the Com.x.file directory has a resource file Myfile.xml

Then, you should have the following code:

Me.class.getResourceAsStream ("/com/x/file/myfile.xml");

To summarize, maybe it's just two ways of writing

First: There is "/" in front

"/" represents the root of the project, such as the project name MyProject, "/" represents the MyProject

Me.class.getResourceAsStream ("/com/x/file/myfile.xml");

Second: There is no "/" in front

Directory representing the current class

Me.class.getResourceAsStream ("Myfile.xml");

Me.class.getResourceAsStream ("File/myfile.xml");
