File not found in EAR packaging

Inside my .ear

-META-INF
-lib
-ejb-shared.jar
-ejb.jar
    -com/ejb/... (classes)
    -fileXml.xml (file I'm trying to access)
-web.war

Some description:

The problem is that I can't access fileXml.xml. Inside an EJB bean (of ejb.jar) I've done: 

File f = new File("fileXml.xml");
System.out.println(f.exists()); // returns false!

I don't know why, but it seems that fileXml.xml is not in the classpath, althougth it's present in the .ear, or maybe I'm doing things in the wrong way!

Using new File("fileXml.xml") will reference a file in the current working directory of the application server JVM, not relative to your specific application. Try using:

URL url = getClass().getResource("/fileXml.xml");
boolean exists = url != null;
System.out.println(exists);
InputStream input = url.openStream();
// ... read and close input stream
