What do you mean with 'classpath'?
Tomcat ignores the classpath environment variable.
So your property file has to reside in a directory
that is known to tomcat.
Even using the SystemClassLoader (which is done when
you use getSystemResource()) won't help because the
classpath is cleared in the startsrcipt of tomcat.
So the file has to one of these:
* webapps/{Context}/WEB-INF/classes/com/foo/My.properties
* $CATALINA_BASE/common/classes/com/foo/My.properties
* $CATALINA_BASE/classes/com/foo/My.properties
To read more about this:

BTW: Is there any reason why you use getSystemResource()
instead of getSystemResourceAsStream() ?
