How should I load a file from the classpath?

[BorisA]

I have a file named Entry.template which I would like to load from the Classpath.
The Entry.template file is copied to .grails/.../resources. I believe the 'resources' directory is supposed to be on the Classpath?

My GrailsTestCase class has the following:

Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("resources/Entry.template")
def template = resource.getFile()

The Citation.template file is not found:

class path resource [resources/Entry.template] cannot be resolved to URL because it does not exist

Does any one know what I'm doing wrong? The approach I've used is supposed to work according to this blog post: http://phatness.com/2010/02/grails-test-files/

Thanks

Well I kinda figured it out by doing this;

def templateFile = getClass().classLoader.rootLoader.getResource("com/f1000/etoc/Entry.template").openStream()

Feels like quite an ugly way to get the file from the Classpath, some one must know of a groovier way?
