Well, what do I say? I put a file resource.txt into my rar's META-INF
directory and another application.xml into my ear's META-INF directory. Then
I wrote a small test class that tries to load both files via
(1) getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("META-INF/resource.txt")
and
(2)
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("META-INF/application.xml"),
placing it inside my rar (which subsequently gets bundled in my ear), taking
care to execute it on startup. Oh yes, and I tried both with a leading /,
too.
While (1) returns null, (2) works like a charm. Do we have a problem now, or
am I missing something?
Cheers,
Olaf
