Creating an application module in a Java class

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create an application module from a normal Java class where I don't have access to any HttpSession objects.
I tried to use the method in the documentation
appMod = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(
                    "full.class.Name",
                    "ConfigurationName");
It's not working though, complaining that it can not find the configuration file which it's trying to locate at full/class/common/bc4j.xcfg.
This file exists at the same path in the BC4J project which this project has a dependency on in the Project Settings dialog.
Is this the right way to create an application module? Can someone please provide a reference to an example.
Thanks

Thanks Frank, but this example is about a stand-alone application, my problem occurs with an application hosted on the application server.
I did more experiments and came up with some ideas but unfortunately, I hit a dead end.
I thought that in order to work around the fact that I cannot set the class loader of the timer, I could change the class loader of the running thread before I create the timer as follows:
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(
          this.getClass().getClassLoader());
I thought this would give me a SecurityException for sure, but strangely enough it worked perfectly.
Now, all I needed was to move this code from the JSP to my listener. Unfortunately, it didn't work in the listener, also a test that I did in the JSP to make sure that the classloader before and after the above statment is different, showed that in the listener, the classloader of the thread is the same as the one used to load the listener class:
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
          .equals(this.getClass().getClassLoader()));
I thought, maybe this is a listener thing, but if I do it in the init() method of a servlet that I could specify to load on startup, it could work, but still, it didn't.
I cannot understand, why is it that the only correct class loader is the one used to load the compiled JSP class?!
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks
