JBoss4 ContextClassLoader

[bhalli]

Seeminlgy Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(".") in jboss4 yields "${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/conf/".
Any thoughts on how to access resource files located inside .ear or .jar .war or .sar deploys.

I would like to know the answer to this. I ported some Java ClassLoader code from a web application into my ejb module and though I could look up the resource in my jar, I could not manipulate the path or load the resource.

I am interested in this answer. What I am going to try next is to

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("resources")

After packaging my resources directory into my ejb.jar.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I have some observations and I'd like to know what's going on here. If I call the following:

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(".");

I get this path:

"file:/C:/Java_Env/jboss-4.0.0/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp33748app.ear-contents/web-exp.war/"

If I call an actual resource name:

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(ApplicationResources.mDATABASE_CONNECTION_POOL_PROPERTIES_RESOURCE);

I get the path to my ejb jar.

"file:/C:/Java_Env/jboss-4.0.0/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp33748app.ear-contents/ejb.jar!/resources/DatabaseConnectionPool.properties"

Thanks.

Pardon me, I'm using JBoss 4.0 with IntelliJ 4.5 and I am calling the getResource from my SessionBean. I am deploying in an .ear wtih a ejb module and a web module.

Sorry about the lack of context.

Thanks.
