The javadoc for Class.getResourceAsStream()
documents the lookup logic:
If the name begins with a
"https://stackoverflow.com/"
('\u002f'
), then the absolute name of the resource is the portion of the name following the “https://stackoverflow.com/”.Otherwise, the absolute name is of the following form:
modified_package_name/name
Where the
modified_package_name
is the package name of this object with “https://stackoverflow.com/” substituted for'.'
('\u002e'
).
So in other words, the resource name passed to the method should look like /com/package/p2/props.properties
if the props.properties
is stored in the com.package.p2
package instead of the current class’s.
