Deployment resources file path is incorrect in EAP 6

Issue

• On the deployment of application to the server installation of JBoss EAP 6.1 the resources are looked for under the bin/content directory rather than the standalone/deployment directory. On local installation of the application this works correctly and finds the resources under standalone/deployments.
• So in dev environment the path returned (which is correct) is :

C:\Program Files\jboss-eap-6.1\standalone\deployments\abc.ear\abc.war\WEB-INF\classes\resources\templates\html_email_reset_password.html

however on the server the path is returned as follows;

C:\jboss-eap-6.1.0\jboss-eap-6.1\bin\content\abc.ear\abc.war\WEB-INF\classes\resources\templates\html_email_reset_password.html 

• What is the reason behind this strange behaviour?
