Better way is to use getClass().getResourceAsStream for accessing
files packed in jars
or for acccessing files located directly in the war you can use the
following (in a servlet):
ServletContext ctx = getServletContext();
InputStream is = ctx.getResourceAsStream( resourceName );
Do not forget to declare the data file as the resource file in
appengine-web.xml
(if it is located outside of the WEB-INF directory):
<resource-files>
<include path="/resources/data-file.csv" />
</resource-files>
