Subject: [PATCH] [2.x] fix: Add null check for resource URL in
 ResourceLoader.getPropertiesFor (#8641)

**Problem**
getPropertiesFor method calls getResource().openStream() without checking
if getResource returns null. When a resource doesn't exist, this causes
a NullPointerException with no context about which resource was missing.

**Solution**
Added null check before calling openStream() and throw a descriptive
FileNotFoundException with the resource name if the resource is not found.
This prevents NullPointerException and provides better error messages.
