Parsing XML file out of jar

Hello,
I am trying to parse a XML file out of my jar which is deployed in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy. But when I load the file with

String path="DBConfig.xml";
configFile=builder.build(new InputSource(path));

I always get the following exception:

14:51:36,671 ERROR [STDERR] java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\j2ee\jboss420\bin\DBConfig.xml
14:51:36,671 ERROR [STDERR] at org.jboss.net.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.connect(FileURLConnection.java:94)
14:51:36,671 ERROR [STDERR] at org.jboss.net.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.getInputStream(FileURLConnection.java:103)
14:51:36,671 ERROR [STDERR] at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.setupCurrentEntity(Unknown Source)

14:51:36,671 ERROR [STDERR] at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source)

Here C:\j2ee\jboss420\ is my JBOSS_HOME directory.

Is there any way to load the file without using the classloader? For example a standard path in the jar file where such files can be stored? Or can I configure JBoss to search for the file in a specified directory?

Thanks for any help on this issue.

Best regards,

dr_doom

How about:

builder.build(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("DBConfig.xml"));

Assuming that the DBConfig.xml is at the root of your jar.

First of all, thanks for the relpy.
But as I said, I am trying to get this done without using the classloader.
Can I get the path from the JBoss Context?

Thanks for any further relies,
