Read specific resource from classpath

I have a maven project and in class-path (resources folder according to maven standard layout) I have several log4j.xml files, like this:

-resources
    -log4j.xml
    -folder1
        -log4j.xml
    -folder2
        -log4j.xml

How I can read log4j.xml located at root? I think the following code doesn't guarantee that I will get log4j.xml from root:

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("log4j.xml")

Unless some other jar file is in the classpath of the current thread(s classloader, before yours, and also contains a log4j.xml file at the root, your code will do what you expect it to do.

To get the other one you would use "folder1/log4j.xml" as path.
