Hi,
I've deployed an ear that contains a war that initializes an application
configuration using a servlet that loads on startup. Here is the code I
am using to read the xml configuration file, which is bundled inside a
config.jar (along with several other properties and xml files) and added
to the application class-path in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file using the
Class-path attribute at build time:
InputStream is =
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("config.xml");
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
Document doc = reader.read(is); // this throws the DocumentException
However, when the servlet loads, jdom is throwing a DocumentException
because it appears that it cannot find the config.xml file:
Nested exception: java.net.MalformedURLException

I've worked through this classpath issue on JBoss last week and am
wondering if I need to configure it differently in Geronimo for the same
code to work portably in Geronimo.
Any feedback/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
