I have followed along with the Tutorial and the examples. Yet I always get this error when I copy and paste the code:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.test.FileServerXml.main(FileServerXml.java:13) 

In Eclipse I have the directory structured as such:

package net.test
-FileServerXml.java
-fileserver.xml
-index.html

FileServerXml.java

package net.test;


import org.mortbay.jetty.Server;
import org.mortbay.resource.Resource;
import org.mortbay.xml.XmlConfiguration;

public class FileServerXml
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        Resource fileserver_xml = Resource.newSystemResource("fileserver.xml");
        XmlConfiguration configuration = new XmlConfiguration(fileserver_xml.getInputStream());
        Server server = (Server)configuration.configure();
        server.start();
        server.join();

    }
}
`

fileserver.xml

Thanks for your input. Norm
