Loading XML file for parsing

Question

Folks,
I have placed one xxx.XML file under /WEB-INF/ of my application server and i have configured a servlet in web.xml file to execute during server startup like below
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MonitorInitServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.xxx.xxx..services.MonitorInitServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>configFile</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/portalMonitorConfig.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
And the above servlet loads portalMonitorConfig.xml file and i have below code
InputStream inputStream = xxx.class.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/portalMonitorConfirg.xml");
private static Document parseXmlFile(InputStream xml) throws SAXException, IOException,
ParserConfigurationException
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
return factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(xml);
So when i do the above , i get
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException :InputStream cannot be null,
I know its sending a null InputStream, By the way i need to know what is the issue in the above code when i create InputStream object
InputStream inputStream = xxx.class.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/portalMonitorConfig.xml");
Any help with the code is really appreciated

when serializing the DOM, use this: transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, scrReg.dtd");
