Getting null pointer exception In FILE class

Question

File file = new File(getClass().getResource(filePath + "/createFile.xml").toURI());

I get an error of java.lang.NullPointerException in above line. Here filePath is string variable in which I have set my directory path from where I want to read file.

Answer 1

Class.getResource() will return null when the resource was not found. You always should test for that before using it.
