Both are definitely good options ... I prefer to go directly to the
Classloader for consistency's sake -- sometimes I read resources from
Servlets (or other objects that have ServletContext visibility), but most
often in my J2EE apps I read resources from plain-old-java classes which I
don't want to tie to J2EE.

As always, do what suites you best.
