This is quite tricky issue. I use the following method.
Basically it locate the directory where you place your
designated class definition!

============================================
static String base;
static {
try {
// use an object instance which is part of service!
my.package.MyObject rm = new my.package.MyObject();
Class c = rm.getClass();
String name = "my.package.MyObject.class";
URL url = c.getClassLoader().getResource(name);


String st1 = url.getPath();
int x = st1.indexOf("file:"); // remvie "jar:file:" part;
if (x>=0) st1 = st1.substring(x+5);
x = st1.indexOf(":"); // remove leading "/" for Windows!
if (x>=0) st1 = st1.substring(1);
st1 = st1.substring(0, st1.length()-name.length()-1); // remove /class
name;
if (st1.endsWith("!")) { // remove jar/war/aar/mar file paths;
  x = st1.lastIndexOf("/");
 if (x>=0) st1 = st1.substring(0, x);
}
st1 = st1.replace("/", File.separator); // directory;
base = st1+File.separator;
System.out.println("Base: "+base);
     
} catch (Throwable t1) {
t1.printStackTrace();
}
}
