A Strange issue with ClassLoader

[Pankaj Poshirkar]

Dear All,

I have a very strange and probably a very popular issue with Class Loader. The following statement returns null.

java.net.URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(xsdSchema);

The variable xsdSchema holds the name of a certain xsd file at a particular location in the workspace.

At one point of time, this statement was running absolutely fine. But suddenly, it started returning null and nothing was changed.

Its tough to crack what is going wrong. Does anyone have any idea as to what is happening here...?

Please help.

Thanks in advance,
Pankaj Poshirkar

Has your class path changed?

The xsd file (which the ClassLoader is not able to load) is in 'resources' directory and this 'resources' directory is in the root of the EAR project. I didn't try to change the classpath. But anyways, I checked the class path entries in the MANIFEST.MF file but there is no change. Where all can the classpath be checked? Please help me as I m new to WebSphere ...
