The latest release of the servlet specification 2.3 pfd2 is a very readable
document.
I would suggest that anyone doing development on servlet read it once.
Section SRV.9.5 of the spec says the following
<from specs>
However, the contents of the WEB-INF directory
are visible to servlet code using the getResource() and
getResourceAsStream()
method calls on the ServletContext. Any application specific configuration
information
that the developer needs access to from servlet code yet does not wish to
be exposed to the web client may be placed under this directory.
</from specs>
I hope that solves your doubt.
