Please be careful pulling resources like this. Those of us who've coded
with OSGi know that the URLs from ClassLoader.getResource() are not
necessarily resolvable to a path that will successfully yield a File. (I
owe the WebLogic team a long and painful chat about this one day.)
Unless you have a priori knowledge that in every possible environment
you'll actually have a File, the best thing is to open a stream from
that URL directly.

I don't see why you should need to use the context classloader if the
resources are within the same domain (realm? scope? I'm looking for a
word which is a more formalized form of 'in the same JAR') as the class
you were referencing with
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(). I'm assuming the
resources in question are definitely being included in the produced JARs?
