What is the parameter you pass to getResource()? Do you pass in
"com/company/product/MyClass.class" or do you pass in
"/WEB-INF/classes/com/company/product/MyClass.class"?
If it is the first choice, then for servlets not in a Web App the
getResource() should be rooted at the directory where the class files are.
Maybe getResource() is intended for servlets to get config files or other
resources that are not available from a norml url connection to the server.
