GetResourceAsStream problem in a EJB JAR

Question

Hello,
I am trying to get a xml file from the same JAR file my EJB's are
bundled in on 6.1. Its not in the WAR file but the EJB jar file.
I've been trying to use:
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("www.xml")
and various different versions of this (using "/www.xml')
I've tried placing the xml file in the root of the JAR file and in the
same package as the class. I get the impression that its always
looking in the weblogic class path, and not the classloaders. (it
works if I place the file in the Weblogic6.1 dir)
Has anyone managed to retrieve file resources from their EJB JAR
files? If so how?
Thanks

Answer 1

I do this by placing the resource file in it's own .jar file. Then place that .jar file in the .ear file with
the ejb .jar files. Then put the resource .jar file in the classpath using the Class-Path: manifest directive
in the ejb .jar files. Then you can use this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/foo.xml") in the ejb bean
class.
I've never tried it by placing the resource file in the ejb .jar file. I would think it would work, but
apparently not?

Actually I tried this and it doesn't seem to work. I imagine its
becuase the EJB classloader can't see the resources in the WAR file?
Remember I'm trying to load the resource from an EJB JAR file not a
WAR file.
Any idea's how I could do this?
thanks

If the file is in WEB-INF/classes within your WAR it should work if you
execute
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("www.xml");
