How to load (from code) required file (*.txt) from WEB-INF\lib\someName.jar?

I tried mechanism: 

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(<nameFile>).

But it worked only when required file was in WEB-INF\classes folder.
Then i tried to create META-INF\resources folder in jar with required file. But it didn't give effect.

  • Why bother going all the way to the classloader? You could've just stopped at the class. – kolossus Jun 19 '14 at 15:50

Try getResourceAsStream method on the Class instead of ClassLoader.

this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(<nameFile>).

Just tested it this way and I got an instance of sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection$JarURLInputStream@89fbe3
