Caminho Jasper + tomcat

Bom Dia pessoal,

Estou com problema para gerar o pdf pelo ireport.

Ele não encontra o arquivo jasper quando executado em ambiente de produção (Servidor), executando no ambiente de desenvolvimento (Netbenas 7.01) ele encontra normalmente.

O caminho que uso como path é /pacote/arquivo.jasper

print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(getClass().getResource(path).getPath(), param, ds);

Uso o tomcat 7.0.19 com JSF 2.1.2 + Primefaces 3.02M2 + Hibernate JPA2
Os arquivos jasper estão em um pacote dentro do .war

Alguma idéia ?

p/s já tentei usar assim e não funcionou:

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath(path);

No aguardo de uma ajuda =)

Edit:

o erro é esse :

Sendo que está apontando para o arquivo certo, já confirmei se ele está la
