Why do you want to place a server-side configuration file into a
world accessible folder? Everyone is able to download it with their
browser by simply entering the corresponding URL.
If your configuration file contains private data like DB authenti-
cation informations you will end up in the list of defaced/hacked
sites on hacker congresses, like the one reported at
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/26C3-Flirtboerse-der-rechten-Szene-gehackt-893403.html
where a dating site (for nazis) now has thousands of "external
backups" of their backend database. Hackers already cracked many
passwords stored in the database whery many were also used for the
webmailer many of these people are using...

getResourceAsStreams checks all locations specified in the classpath,
the base-directory of the war-file isn't part of it.
