Answer:

1. What smooks takes as a string is a file name. if you take a relative one it's interpreted relative to the start location of your Java application. but of course you cocould take an absolute one too. soE:/data/sample.xmlShoshould just work fine.
2. /WEB-INF/sample. XML can't be on the classpath, as WEB-INF then wocould be a package name. but those must not contain dashes. in fact it's a resource file of your web application and you can get a stream to load itServletContext.getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String path). As jboss7 is servlet 3.0 compilant you can get the servletcontext from the httpservletrequest. However some modern frameworks give you neither.

3. If you 'd like to get your file from the class path you cocould move it to WEB-INF/classes and load it via a classloader. however, Java is pretty picky with the right one. most reliable is the contextclassloader (it's now in the root package ):

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("sample.xml");
