Need Help With PropertyReader in @Service class

[dornus]

I am having trouble accessing my properties file from within my ejb class.

@Service
public class MyClass implements MyInterface {
 private static final String MY_PROPERTIES = "abc.def.MyProperties";
...
 private void someMethod(){
 final ResourceBundle rb = PropertyResourceBundle.getBundle(MY_PROPERTIES);
}

Doing above gives me the error:

 Can't find bundle for base name abc.def.MyProperties, locale en_US

However the file is inside my .war file in the correct path.

I am placing this into the jboss\server\deploy directory as an .ear file.

Do I have to do anything special in MyClass to get it to go inside the war and look at the properties file?

I also want to note that I can access the properties file from within the war file itself. It only breaks when I try to call it from a class within the .ejb3 file, which I showed in the previous post.

by default (and required by the spec), WAR's are within a scoped classloader. This means EJBs cannot view classes/resources packaged within a war. Put it in your EJB jar or within a ejb-client jar.

or, you can muck with the classloader settings in jboss-web.xml. See doco for more details on loader-repository
