My Application (ear) has 2 jar and 2 war files. I want to find out if a properties file (xyz.xml) appear twice or more in the class path. I tried withURL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("xyz.xml"); . But this process return only the 1st appearance of the properties file. It's stop looking further once it gets the file in any jar/war. But , I do need all the occurrences of this properties file in my application. I am new in Java EE world, spend plenty of time to figure this out.

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try with:

Enumeration<URL> urls = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResources("xyz.xml");

This finds all the resources with the given name.
