Classloader getSystemResourceAsStream Error

[A Kumar]

I have a piece of code that goes like this...

This is in one of the classes that is invoked at the time of the web application startup

   
 
InputStream  ip=            
        Classloader.getSystemResourceAsStream("."+File.separator+filename);
 

When i ouput the ip..it give as null

I am not sure where should i keep the file so that the class can fetch it...

The class which has this code is in WEB-INF/classes/pkg


Thanks in advance
