> Root or top directory. I do not believe that the root directory of the EAR is in the classpath. You can add a JAR file to the classpath of dependent modules by editing their manifest files, but I don't think you can add property files this way. You can solve your problem by putting the properties file inside a JAR file and adding the JAR file to the classpath via manifest entries. I am assuming you are searching for the properties file on the classpath. Is this assumption true? If so, which function are you using to do the search. They don't all work the same and the behavior varies if the EAR is expanded or not expanded.
