I have code thay when the application starts up, it tries to read an xml file in the the WEB-INF directory. I'm getting the following runtime exception:   ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/].[ActionServlet]] Servlet.service() for servlet ActionServlet threw exception: #### java.lang.RuntimeException  C:\jboss-6.0.0\server\default\deploy\test.war\WEB-INF\classes\security.xml (The system cannot find the path specified) Now if I just explode the war manually and drop the contents in the deploy directory, the application works perfectly. So I think what i need to do, is some how figure out how to access the file in the VFS. Currently this is the code that i'm calling to return the path:   ClassLoader loader = Thread.+currentThread+().getContextClassLoader(); URL url = loader.getResource(*this*.filename); .. .. String path = url.getPath(); repos = *new* File(path); .. Any Ideas on how I can find out how to get the virtual path? Could it be a configuration issue?
