Webstart -Unable to find file in jar.

Question

(I've looked thru the other posts)
I have a jar file which contains various config files in xml format. The jar is included in the jnlp file as a resource.
The config reader uses a passed in URL to load these files.
When I attempt to get the url for a file, eg. dbconfig.xml, using the following snippet:
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getContextualUrl("dbconfig.xml")
I get a null value. The code works when run locally as a regular app.
Any help appreciated!

I don't have the solution but I would tell that I have the same problem in my apps.
For exemple, I have a parameter file named "services.xml".
Using a Junit test class, I can access it using "getClass().getResource("services.xml")" when I work directly with the project sources but I can't access it when it is packaged in a jar file.
By now, I must duplicate thoses parameters files in my subprojects.
For me it's because methods we want to use doesn't support files access in packages. The solution would be to use methods which supports package access. The ClassLoader and the properties file acces do this, so it may be possible !
Is anyone knows how it's made ?
