JBoss 7.1.1.Final - Load resource from META-INF inside WAR file fails

Question

My File is located at:

<JBOSS_HOME>/standalone/deployments/mycompany.war/META-INF/myfile.xml

The Class which is trying to lookup the file is inside a jar file at:

<JBOSS_HOME>/modules/com/mycompany/lib/main/mycompany.jar

The code snippet looks like:

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("META-INF/myfile.xml"))

This returns null.

Why? I'm lost!

It seems a problem of classloading isolation. Look at this maybe can help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17728385/how-can-i-add-a-jboss-7-1-module-that-contain-classes-that-implements-extends-fr — Aris2World, Aug 11 '16 at 07:27

Specifically try adding below into your jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<resources>
    <resource-root path="META-INF/myfolder" /> 
</resources>

And access the resources inside it as below.

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(MY_RESOURCE_PATH)
