IIRC delegating the request to the system class loader won't work in 
a servlet container - the system class loader is further up in the 
chain than the web app class loader that loaded xom. The current 
thread's loader should also work, but I believe some experimentation 
will be need to figure out whether to use "/" at the root of the 
resource path for certain loaders. I've had problems getting 
resources to load soundly across the gamut of servlet containers, 
ejb cointainers, ides, junit and ant.

has a good overview.
