I am dynamically loading a JAR and succesfully accessing one of its classes. I am doing this with JarClassLoader. FYI, I was also able to successfully do this with URLClassLoader. <br />
<br />
My problem is that the JAR class that I am instantiating is unable to access an XML file cotained in one of the JAR's packages/directories --- a java.io.FileNotFound exception results. Things work fine when I load the JAR on the classpath, but I must do the dynamic load given the architecture within which this has to work.<br />
<br />
....any suggestions....anyone?<br />

Accessing Resources Embedded in a Dynamically Loaded JAR

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
