NullPointerException on using java.util.Scanner

I am using below piece of code to parse text data by using java.util.Scanner
class-

Scanner scannner = new Scanner(upLoadFile.getInputStream());

              while(scannner.hasNextLine()){
                  licenseKey.append(scannner.nextLine());
              }
              scannner.close();

But i am getting following exception on invoking hasNextLine API on Scanner
object -

java.lang.NullPointerException
