If I were you, I'd switch to using an InputSource, and initialize that InputSource with a manually resolved resource path (just to see whether this resolves your issue). Something along the lines .... InputSurce is = new InputSource(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("...").toAbsolutePat h()); That *always* works for me, incl. app servers such as Websphere, Weblogic, Tomcat, JBoss, et alias.
