>From the JDK 1.3 Javadoc for ClassLoader.getResource():
This method will first search the parent class loader for the resource; if
the parent is null the path of the class loader built-in to the virtual
machine is searched. That failing, this method will call findResource to
find the resource.
>From the Servlet 2.2 Javadoc for ServletContext.getResource();
This method allows the servlet container to make a resource available to
servlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or remote file
system, in a database, or in a .war file.
Maybe try using the ServletContext.getResource() instead of the ClassLoader?
