I am trying to read a xml file and parse it using Spring MVC, but for some reason it's not finding the file path. I tried different folder, even root, but still cant read or find the file in my project. I'm also using a bean and its not working ether.

<bean class="com.fdm.routePlanner.data.LineDataReader">
    <property name="file">
    <value>/resources/CompleteTube.xml</value>
    </property>
</bean>

and

SAXBuilder saxbuilder = new SAXBuilder();
 try {
    return generateNetwork( saxbuilder.build(new File(file)) );
  } catch (JDOMException e) {

When I try to parse the file using SAXBuilder it gives me a NullPointerException.

To which line exactly points this NullPointerException? – Grzegorz Rożniecki Aug 22 '12 at 19:22
this line return generateNetwork( saxbuilder.build(new File(file)) ); – user1617934 Aug 23 '12 at 17:33
This means `file` is null - are you sure there's setFile(String file) method inside `LineDataReader`? – Grzegorz Rożniecki Aug 23 '12 at 17:50
yes i have a setFile, i beleive that its not finding the path or i may be wrong – user1617934 Aug 29 '12 at 14:17
In debug, is `file` properly set? – Grzegorz Rożniecki Aug 29 '12 at 14:20
