web service and its configuration file

I implemented one service and it has several configuration item, such as data type, next node, blablabla. What I want to do is to deploy the service and configuration file into tomcat within one .aar.

However, if I jar the service and configuration file into the aar. The service can't read the file though the file is there in the same directory.

Even I put the file into tomcat_home\bin, the service fails to read the file.

I know it should work. Can anybody give me a hint开发者_开发技巧? Thanks.
