ClassLoader not finding files in /shared/classes/alfesco

[esource]

my ClassLoader is not finding custom files placed in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension.  It only discovers files in alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension.  What can I do so ClassLoader will locate files in shared? 

      ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
      InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("/alfresco/extension/custom.properties");

Maybe try removing the leading "/" from the path:

InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("alfresco/extension/custom.properties");


I'm never quite sure how to this right…  :?

Should be:

InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("alfresco/extension/custom.properties");

just remove the leading '/' from your path

Thank you!  Yes, it was the leading "/" that caused the problem.
