Which class to use in an expression like Class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream()?

Question

Java

There is a code:

class ThisClass {
  void foo() {
    InputStream resourceAsStream = ThisClass.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(path);
    //...
  }
}

Is it desirable to call getClassLoader() on the class containing the specified code (in this case ThisClass ), or is any other class appropriate?
What side effects can accompany the execution of such code:

class ThisClass {
  void foo() {
    InputStream resourceAsStream = ForeignClass.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(path);
    //...
  }
}

Answer 1

No difference. Almost always, the getClassLoader() method will return the same loader for any class in your application. Also, it is easier and shorter to use the getClass().getResourceAsStream(path).
