Unable to read a resources file from my page

Question

Hi,
I am trying to read a file from the project resources and I can't have access to the physical file. I have the following code in my page:
javax.faces.context.ExternalContext ec = this.getExternalContext();
URL url = ec.getResource("/resources/displayPassengers.xsl");
InputSource inputSourceXSL = new InputSource(url.toExternalForm());
InputStream inpStreamXSL = null;
if (inputSourceXSL.getByteStream() != null) {
log("Loading xml file: " + url.toExternalForm());
inpStreamXSL = inputSourceXSL.getByteStream();
} else {
log("Unable to extract URL from Page context: WEB-INF/displayPassengers.xsl");
The url is not null.
The inputSourceXSL is not null and inputSourceXSL.getByteStream() is always null.
Please let me know how to access the file.
Rgrds.

this should work
InputSource inputSourceXSL = new InputSource(url.openStream());
