[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - Annoyance with EARs and .properties file

[sil]

So I have a little annoyance here. Within my EAR I have a .properties file that multiple modules read from through an XML file by setting values to classpath:some.properties.  It all works fine and dandy if I place the .properties file in the base of the EAR like so:

myApp.ear
  |   |
  |   |--- some.properties
  |   |
  |   |--- META-INF
  |   |     |
  |   |     |--- (some files)
  |   |
  |   |--- APP-INF
  |   |     |
  |   |     |--- lib
  |   |	|     |
  |   |	|     |--- (various .jar files)  
  | 
However, I really want it to be read from APP-INF/classes instead, like so:
myApp.ear
  |   |
  |   |--- META-INF
  |   |     |
  |   |     |--- (some files)
  |   |
  |   |--- APP-INF
  |   |     |
  |   |     |--- lib
  |   |	|     |
  |   |	|     |--- (various .jar files)  
  |   |	|
  |   |	|--- classes
  |   |     |     |
  |   |	|     |--- some.properties
I have tried adding a class path entry to the MANIFEST.MF file with no success. I have tried playing around in application.xml and jboss-app.xml as well. I always get the error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [some.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist
I am looking for any tips or advice. Thanks!
