throwing exception 'file is not found'

in j2me app
my csv file is in com.school.student package
and the file where i write my code is in the same package 'student'
and the code is:

InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("CWGData.csv");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
try{
int chars, i = 0;
while ((chars = is.read()) != -1){
sb.append((char) chars);
}
System.out.println(" ---------- CSV file is: ---- " + sb.toString());
return sb.toString();
}catch (Exception e){}
return null;



and it is throwing exception of file not found..
i dont understand what's the problem ??

Is that csv file is inside the resource folder?
or where is the file?

What the exact exception you are getting, is this IOException ?

i have tried it both the ways by placing it into res folder or into com.school.student package also.
and the exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

That means your path is not correct..
Have you add the res folder to the project?

yes i have tried it

try utStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("\CWGData.csv");

put the file in res folder.

once the jar is made, check if contains the required res file in it?

thanks,

I guess you have not add the res folder to the project.have you?
if yes then check the name of the file.
Try "/" before the name of the file.

Also you try to read the text file first and draw the text on the form though,
