Thanks for the tip. I was wondering why the behaviour has changed though. Whatever I am using works on another app server like Websphere and also in 1.0 of Geronimo where tomcat's classloader is used. My question is shouldn't the Web Application Classloader have access to the resources outside of the WEB-INF directory inside the war? On glancing through the spec I didn't see anything abt it but most of the app servers seem to support this.
Thanks
Manu

Hi,
can you try to get the correct resource URL via the
URL javax.servlet.ServletContext.getResource(String path)
method? Once you have the base URL to the war you can easily load
your resources from the war.
Thanks,
