Apologies, Craig the URL is: jndi:/WEB-INF/classes/xml/oem/file.xml
the jndi: is on the front, that's what I get for looking at it in the
debugger. JBuilder is handy, but I just did not look deep enough. ;-)

It looks as though a test using getClass.getResourceAsStream() works
just fine. I think that it is possible that Saxon is trying to do its
own URL-processing and does not recognize the URL syntax starting with
'jndi:'. I will convert my code to use getResourceAsStream() instead.
Craig, thanks for the push in the right direction. I probably should
have thought about it more, as another service in the same webapp uses
it without problems... ;-)
