Accessing resources in EJB

Question

Hello,
I have an stateless session bean, and I need to access some resources which I packaged in the resulting jar.
For example I have source package like this:
org.example.bean.*
org.example.files.*
In the code I thought that I will be able to access these files in common way:
String urlName = "org/example/files/file1"
URL resURL = this.getClass().getResource(urlName);
or
URL resURL = ClassLoader.getSystemResource(urlName);
but it don't work, everytime it returns null.
Maybe in EJB container the code like that dont function, I don't know but it's working in common java aplication so I  thought it will be so also in ejb.
Can anyone tell me how can I access my files?
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Miroslav Koskar

Hi Miroslav ,
Are you trying to access stateless session bean or classes
from a packaged jar into your stateless session bean?
If you are trying to access the stateless session bean,then you can go by the way Ray has suggested.
Or, if you are trying to access the classes inside a jar in you stateless session bean then here u go...
In your EJB->project->right clicj-> properties->java build path -> Add External Jars and add the desired jars.
Now you will be able to access it as you wanted.
Hope this suggestion helps.
Pl reward points if the suggestion helped you.
Thanks and regards
