Description

When using the commons configuration inside a WAR loading a XML file works fine when done like this:

InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/conf/main.xml");
builder.load(is);

The problem is when the main.xml reference other xml files:
configuration>
<xml fileName="child1.xml"/>
</configuration>

If the structure of the war is:
/
/classes
/conf/child1.xml
/conf/main.xml

There seems to be no way to pick up child1.xml from main.xml when loading main.xml as a stream.
