Thank you for your response. Unfortunately this library is much more insidious than that. It needs an actual file on the file system. I'm sure it's calling FileInputStream(filename) somewhere in the code, which only serves to anger me. I will have to pursue a different solution, since currently the config file is in the SAR's META-INF directory. Thanks again for your help.
