Thank you all for your comments! They were very helpful! Unfortunately, the war file containing the test application was stripped from my original e-mail.
This is actually code that I inherited from someone else. They were running it under Tomcat 5 and when I ran it under Tomcat 6, it didn't work the same way, which is why I started looking into this. Also, the actual code is not in a servlet. I just put it in a servlet in the test application so I could easily execute the same code when Tomcat was started.

I don't think ServletContext.getResource() will look inside .jar files. The proper method is still getResourceAsStream(), but using the classloader or the class. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
