getResourceAsStream() will return null if the requested resource is not
available. Keep in mind that getRequestAsStream() is rooted to your
webapp, so the requested image needs to be found relative to the top
level of your web application.

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 -
