Tried that, thanks though. The problem in this case is that only
WEB-INF/classes is in the classpath - I need to access WEB-INF/somedir
.. Any class-based solution can't access a non-classes dir under
WEB-INF, I'm thinking.

I used to print out all servlet context variables and IIRC, I saw one with
the servlet classpath. I think the root directory of the WAR file is in the
classpath. Thus WEB-INF/somedir/my.properties would be accessible. I should
double check, but I can't right now.
