---------------------------------------
Hi Gary,
Thanks for your feedback.
I think that NPE scenario is handled by these lines in {{resourceToURL}}:
{code}
final URL resource = IOUtils.class.getResource(name);
if (resource == null) {
throw new IOException("Resource not found: " + name);
}
{code}
Also other overloads delegate to {{resourceURL}} so they are covered too. Or is
there another potential for {{NPE}} that I am missing?
Regarding the best place for this method, I don't mind to move these methods if
a better place in the Commons is suggested, but {{IOUtils}} already has these
methods (and more) that deal with network IO:
*
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/io/IOUtils.html#closeQuietly(java.net.Socket)
*
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/io/IOUtils.html#closeQuietly(java.net.ServerSocket)
*
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/io/IOUtils.html#toByteArray(java.net.URL)
*
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/io/IOUtils.html#toByteArray(java.net.URI)
So probably {{IOUtils}} is not a bad place for these {{resourceTo...}} methods
after all.
Regards,
Behrang
