I need some pretty immediate help/assistance with always getting a
NullPointerException Java exception when I try to view a particular
image in my favorite web browser!!! The line of text in my servlet file
which is, I think, problemmatic is a while loop. Well here is my entire
servlet file for someone to take a look at to hopefully help me with
this problem.
package org.stephen.burris;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class One_More_Time extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest rq, HttpServletResponse rp )
throws
ServletException, IOException {
rp.setContentType( "image/jpeg" );
ServletContext sc = getServletContext ();
InputStream is = sc.getResourceAsStream("/pamandersonnaked.jpeg");
int read = 0;
byte [] bytes = new byte[ 1024 ];
OutputStream os = rp.getOutputStream ();
while ((read = is.read(bytes)) != -1) {
os.write( bytes, 0, read);
}
os.flush();
os.close();
}
}
And the server error :
HTTP Status 500 -
------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
org.stephen.burris.One_More_Time.doGet(One_More_Time.java:19)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache
Tomcat/5.5.17 logs.
