find xml file on classpath

[Michael Fortin <pommele@mindspring.com>]

I'm trying to make an xml  config file.   Basically I want the 
convenience of the ResourceBundle and '.properties' files with the 
flexibility of an xml file.   My problem is how do you find and xml file 
that is placed somewhere on the classpath?  
System.getProperty("java.class.path") will give me the jar files on the 
path but not the actual path, or at least it doesn't seem very 
consistent in what it returns  The most likely place for the xml file to 
be placed, would be in a WEB-INF or WEB-INF/lib folder of a web server.  
Could anyone give me some suggestions on how to find it?



Thanks much,
