Well the problem here was that if you do a lookup for
getClass().getResourceAsStream() it will look for a resource with the
package name of the class prefixed to the resource name. Which in the Axis
case meant that the file had to be in org/apache/axis/client or
org/apache/axis/server. If you do
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream() a lookup is done using
the resource name only, and it can thus reside in any package. This allows
you to easily override the default Axis config without messing with the
axis.jar.
It is basically another hook to override the config similar to the one
that was already there which looked for the resource in the current
directory, before trying the classpath. The problem with the current
directory search is that it does not work in WebStart.
