I use a class with static methods to load properties. getResource() does not return a static URL, so I cannot use it within my static method. getSystemResource() returns a static URL.

System Resource doesn't use the class loader delegation and only uses the root class loader. Second, if you don't want to change your code, you need to modify the wrapper.properties file. In there it builds up a classpath that is then passed on to Java. You could add your directory to that classpath.
