getResourceAsStream working on jUnit, but not on Tomcat

I have a third party library that works with jUnit, but does not once deployed to tomcat. Digging into the code, I can see it fails here:

final String path = "/api-version.dat";
final InputStream stream = ClassLoader.class.getResourceAsStream(path);

The api-version.dat is located on jUnit test, but doing the same on Tomcat results in NullPointerException due to Tomcat unable to get the api-version file. This file exist and it is located inside the third party jar. What I have tried so far:

Any thoughts?

In a Java EE enviroments use:

final InputStream stream = Thread.currentThread()
                                 .getContextClassLoader()
                                 .getResourceAsStream(path);
