--------------------------------------------------------------
I used the following article to configure loading properties from external folders.
 https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-18247#/?page=2 https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowToPutAnExternalFileInTheClasspath#/?page=2

Everything seems to work as in the article. How ever, I am porting an WAR from websphere to JBoss AS7 and have slight problem with this.

My application uses *ClassLoader.getSystemResource("PropertyFile")* to get the URL for the property file from Classpath. When I try this, I get a Null Pointer Exception
I can successfully load using  *this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("PropertyFile")*

I can not change it as this is being used all over the application. 
Why doesn't *ClassLoader.getSystemResource("PropertyFile")* not work ? 
Is there some configuration setting that can make it work? I am willing to move the properties files to a different location or may be include in the WAR if needed.

Any Help is greatly appreciated.
