How to read resource files located in the EAR config folder?

[Michael Cory]

Hi,
                I am trying TomEE for the first time.
                I want to port a legacy Java Web Application from Glassfish to 
TomEE.

                Problem: I am unable to read resource files (.xml and 
.properties) located in the EAR config folder.
                I have code in an EJB Session which reads an xml file to 
configure an import (for example).

                Following Maven standards my folder looks like this:

                EAR\src\main\application\config
                                test.xml
                                sample.properties

                My code looks like this:
                                ClassLoader cl = 
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
           URL url = cl.getResource("/config/sample.properties");

                This setup works fine in Glassfish and Weblogic.
                My code works if I move the resources to the WAR, but only when 
called from code in the WAR.
                                Here is where I put the resources in the WAR to 
make that work...
                                                Web\src\main\resources\config

                To port this legacy code I need to have the resources in the 
EAR /config folder and call from EJB classes (as well as from classes in the 
WAR).

                Dev environment = myEclipse 2022 exploded EAR deployment. 
apache-tomee-webprofile-8.0.13

                I feel like this is a JNDI issue perhaps. Clearly the 
Classloader is different when called from EJB class - compared to when called 
from WAR class.

                Does anyone know how to make this work with TomEE?

Thank You.
