The above will work only if the requested resource is part of the
application's
classpath, that is, contained inside the WAR file's WEB-INF/classes
folder or
inside a JAR file inside WEB-INF/lib.
I believe that in JO's case, the requested resource is stored inside the
WAR file's
document root, in which case it would not be available from the
application's
classpath.
In this case, you can access it via ServletContext#getResource or
ServletContext#getResourceAsStream.
From within a JSP page, the ServletContext object is available via the
implicit variable with name "application".
Hope this helps.
