    Hello Raj,

    XEP supports a special 'resource:' URL scheme that allows you to
    search for files along the Java classpath. You can use this feature to
    specify XEP configuration options as described in Section "3.3.XEP
    Core Options" of "XEP 3.7 User Guide" (userguide.pdf). The 'resource:'
    protocol will also allow you to address images packed into ear file
    from XSL-FO.

    In general, the simplest way to use XEP as a single JAR incudes three steps:

    1. Wrap all XEP configuration files (contents of etc/, afm/, and
       hyphen/ subdirs in XEP installation) into a single jar, preserving
       the directory structure. You may want to add some top-level catalog
       as well, i.e. you can create xepresource.jar with a following structure:
       xep37/etc/
         license.txt
         fonts.xml
         ....
       xep37/afm/
         Courier.afm
         ...
       xep37/hyphen/
         hyphen.tex
         ...

    2. Include xepresource.jar into the server classpath.

    3. In your application set com.renderx.xep.ROOT="resource:/xep37/"
       In this case all the relative URLs used for other configuration
       options will refer to the objects inside xepresource.jar relative
       to its root directory 'xep37'.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,
