I am using JBoss 3.2.3. I have put a properties file with in a JAR. 
I am not able to read its contents from one of the beans deployed through the same JAR 
file. 

Contents of the JAR:
  | meta-inf/jboss.xml
  | meta-inf/ejb-jar.xml
  | conf/Ebonding.properties
  | com/../.. (other bean classes)


I am trying to load the file "Ebonding.properties" using 
getClass().getResourceAsStream(name) method.

In this above call if name="conf/Ebonding.properties", I get null as the output from 
"getClass().getResourceAsStream(name)" call.

If name="/conf/Ebonding.properties" (with a / in front), then 
"getClass().getResourceAsStream(name)" method seem to return a valid stream but when I 
use this stream to load a Properties object, it gives me the following error (showing 
the top portion of a huge stack Trace)

com.test.ebonding.data.EbondingProperties.<clinit>(EbondingProperties.java:27)

Code Snippet (in the Constructor of com.test.ebonding.data.EbondingProperties class):

Properties systemProp = new Properties();
  | InputStream propFileStream = 
getClass().getResourceAsStream("conf/Ebonding.properties");
  | systemProp.load(propFileStream);

I am clueless and spent lot of time trying to put this properties under different 
directories within the JAR. No Success. Also read about "meta class path" in the 
MANIFEST file in some forum thread, but now sure what I should set it to.

I tried putting this properties file in all kinds of directories with the Jboss 
installation and was hoping the ClassLoader would find this resource. No success 
either.

I even tried putting this file in some other directory outside Jboss installation (and 
not within JAR), but could not access it even though I gave the absolute path with the 
protocol as "file:" in the filename. I get a "FileNotFoundException" when I use the 
"FileInputStream".

Any clues, guys? Is there a bug in Jboss 3.2.3 or am I missing something?

Thanks a lot.
