Failure to create recognizer

[Hammond2789]

I am currently using the example given. The model is created. I am using the smaller version of the English model from the website. The error gives no information.

 try (Model model = new Model("/data/models/en-us");
                 Recognizer recognizer = new Recognizer (model, 16000)) {
                int nbytes;
                byte[] b = new byte[4096];
                while ((nbytes = is.read(b)) >= 0) {
                    if (recognizer.acceptWaveForm(b, nbytes)) {
                        recognizer.getResult();
                    } else {
                        recognizer.getPartialResult();
                    }
                }
                 result = recognizer.getFinalResult();
            }

Worked after I re downloaded the model.
