Different ways of loading a file as an InputStream

Question

What\'s the difference between:

InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(fileName)

and

InputSt         


        

Answer 1

After trying some ways to load the file with no success, I remembered I could use FileInputStream, which worked perfectly.

InputStream is = new FileInputStream("file.txt");

This is another way to read a file into an InputStream, it reads the file from the currently running folder.
