NullPointerException when reading a properties file in Java

Question

I am using the following code to read a properties file:

Properties pro = new Properties();
InputStream is = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I have resolved by doing the following

1. File file = new File("resources.properties");
2. System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());

and then put "resources.properties" file under that path.
