How to get path to web resource from within EJB?

Question

This is my first post on StackOverflow, so let me know if I'm breaking any rules.

As for the question:

I have a JBOSS project divided as follows:

myproject
  -myproject-ear
  -myproject-ejb
     -mypackage
       -myQuartzClass.java
  -myproject-web
     -src
        -main
          -webapp
             -protected
                -sql
                  -mySqlQuery.sql

Thing is, I need to get the path (and then read the file) to "mySqlQuery.sql") from within the "MyQuartzClass.java". Is it possible? I know I can use FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath from within a ManagedBean, but can I use something similar from within my EJB classes?

Thanks

At least for WAR deployments, you can have a ContextListener load some information into a static field of a non-@Startup-annotated EJB. There's a code sample at https://github.com/IanDarwin/GetWebFilesInEJB.git

I have not tested it on the legacy EAR deployment; if it doesn't work there, might give some people the incentive to simplify their lives a bit :-)
