Hello there,

I’m trying to deploy an Akka application in Scala on a Jboss server using sbt assembly.

I have a configuration file named application.conf under resources folder and after the assembly, it is correctly packaged inside the jar with the concat strategy. However, at application startup I get this error :

```auto
09:53:36,114 WARN [org.keycloak.services] (default task-236) KC-SERVICES0013: Failed authentication: com.typesafe.config.ConfigException$Missing: No configuration setting found for key 'akka'
	at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.findKeyOrNull(SimpleConfig.java:156)
	at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.findKey(SimpleConfig.java:149)
	at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.findOrNull(SimpleConfig.java:176)
	at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.find(SimpleConfig.java:188)

```

It seems that the configuration file in the jar is not loaded at all. Any idea on how to solve this ?

I’m having a very similar problem but, instead of not finding the `akka` key, it is not finding the keys for `akka.loggers`, and if I give a value for `akka.loggers`, it moves on to `akka.logging-filter`, and so on. Based on this, I tried implementing a concrete .conf file containing all the default configuration data from the default configuration found [here](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/general/configuration-reference.html). After loading this as the fallback of my intended application.conf, I receive the same error, except the missing key is `enabled`, as shown below.

No answer was ever given here, but has anyone found a solution to this issue?
