getResourceAsStream() returns NULL under JBoss 7.1 but OK under Tomcat 7

Hello,

I am trying to access a file that is located in the WEB-INF folder. In particular, I have the following line of code in the init() handler of a servlet:

InputStream s = servletContext.getResourceAsStream(sPath);

where sPath = File.separator+"WEB-INF"+File.separator+"filename.ini";

I have been running this under Tomcat 7 with no problem but I am trying to switch over to JBoss 7.1 and with no other changes the same code now returns a NULL. Can someone explain why this is failing under JBoss when it used to work under Tomcat?

Thank you,
