Java Development Tools

I want to use some image in my application. But, I do not want to hard code the image path because where ever I stored the application it should works. I tried to use getClass().getResource and getClass().getClassLoader().getResource but in both cases I am getting NULL

.

here is the actual path for the image:

C:\JDeveloper\mywork\MyApplication\ViewController\public_html\resources\images\img.gif

and here is the actual path for the class I am working with:

C:\JDeveloper\mywork\MyApplication\ViewController\src\view\MyClassBean

So both the class and the image in the same project ViewController

here is the output statements from MyClassBean Class:

System.out.println("1. "+  getClass());
   System.out.println("2. "+  getClass().getClassLoader());
   System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
   System.out.println("1. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("img.gif") );
   System.out.println("2. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("3. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("4. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("5. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("6. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("7. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("8. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("9. "+  getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("10. "+ getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("11. "+ getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("myApplication/ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("12. "+ getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/myApplication/ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
   System.out.println("1. "+  getClass().getResource("img.gif") );
   System.out.println("2. "+  getClass().getResource("/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("3. "+  getClass().getResource("images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("4. "+  getClass().getResource("/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("5. "+  getClass().getResource("resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("6. "+  getClass().getResource("/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("7. "+  getClass().getResource("public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("8. "+  getClass().getResource("/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("9. "+  getClass().getResource("ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("10. "+ getClass().getResource("/ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("11. "+ getClass().getResource("myApplication/ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") );
   System.out.println("12. "+ getClass().getResource("/myApplication/ViewController/public_html/resources/images/img.gif") ); 

here is the output Results:

1. class view.MyClassBean
2. weblogic.utils.classloaders.ChangeAwareClassLoader@16a1d36 finder: weblogic.utils.classloaders.CodeGenClassFinder@a94081 annotation: MyApplication@MyApplication-ViewController-context-root

So, How Can I get any image that stored in the same project where the running class is with in the java code. I am using JDeveloper 11g Release 2 with ADF technology.
