Howdy, Are you sure the resource specified by APP_FILE_PROPKEY is actually there in your testing environment?

As I mentioned, all of these systems are pretty much identical. What I didn't include in the source was a test to see if getRealPath was working and if not, to issue a getResourceAsStream. It also returns a null value. See:
stream=getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(APP_FILE_PROP_KEY);
Now that you mention it, I believe I've accused the wrong method. The getResourceAsStream is failing. I get a stream on the other two
systems
but not on testing.

I've found that getRealPath returns null when you are running your application from a war file without unpacking it. If the file you are trying to find doesn't exist on the disk, then this is an indication that you won't be able to get it with getRealPath.
I guess this is because it is too complicated to patch into all the
file
manipulation functions to allow access to the packed contents of the
war
file.
getResourceAsStream() works regardless of whether the war file is unpacked or not.
