problem startup singleton deployed in webapp can't load resource in WEB-INF/classes

Hello,

I'm having trouble where I have a webapp that I am deploying to glassfish 3.1.

I've added a startup singleton to do some initialization and keep configuration values.

This startup singleton ejb class attempts to load a resource via (this is called in the method annotated with @PostConstruct)

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("myfile.xml")

However, this always returns null. The file myfile.xml is located in WEB-INF/classes/myfile.xml.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Matt
