Description

The issue is on the org.apache.commons.jcs.engine.control.CompositeCacheManager.java (configure function).
for some reason InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream( propFile ) is giving access error. After reviewing source code, I would like to question why doing a read of the file again? Doesn't the class already have the the same properties loaded already?

steps to reproduce the issue:

1. created a window batch file to start the RemoteCacheServerFactory
"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92\bin\java" -classpath C:\Apache\jcs-2.1-bin\commons-jcs-core\commons-jcs-core-2.1.jar;C:\javalib\apache-commons\commons-logging.jar org.apache.commons.jcs.auxiliary.remote.server.RemoteCacheServerFactory cache.ccf

getting the following error.
