Cannot open resource URL as stream

           Summary: Cannot open resource URL as stream
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.30
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rossi+apache@webslingerZ.com


The following two lines of code in a servlet:

java.net.URL url = getServletContext().getResource( "myfile.txt" );
java.io.InputStream input = url.openStream();

throw the following exception:

java.io.FileNotFoundException
	at
org.apache.naming.resources.DirContextURLConnection.getInputStream(DirContextURLConnection.java:344)
	at java.net.URL.openStream(URL.java:913)

The file does exist--when the file "myfile.txt" does not exist,
ServletContext.getResource() returns null.  In the case that the file does exist
the getResource() method returns a URL object but we are then unable to open the
URL as a stream and read from it.
