Paul,
This usually depends on the mechanism that you're using to load the
file as well as the environment in which you're loading the file.
I've used three different scenarios on different projects. The one
I found that works the best is loading them from the CLASSPATH. To
so this using a web container, place the XML descriptors in
WEB-INF/classes (because the container puts this dir in the CLASSPATH).
Then in your classes that need to load the descriptors, use something
similar to the following syntax:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( MAPPING );
If you're in a J2EE container, pathing issues can easily arise with
regard to ClassLoader issues. In this case using something like the
following:
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( MAPPING );
Hope this helps.
