[jboss-user] finding the temp deploy directory from within a bean

Hi, I have a timer bean and I want it to read some configuration from a file. I package the file in the ear (copied to under the META-INF directory). In the timer I want to read this file but I can't figure out how to resolve the temporary deployment directoy that it is copied to by the container in jboss. Does anyone know how to do this? Or the correct way to get at files packaged in the ear file? thanks, dominic
