You could use:
getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/hello.txt");
...to get the real path on disc of the webapplication or a file within it.
Finding the servlet class file itself can not be done automatically, since
the servlet object lives in a virtual space with no idea of where it's
definition resides.
But you can map the file manually, if needed.
You can also try to fiddle with Class.getResource() and
Class.getResourceAsStream() in combination with the method above to see if
you can come up with some solution.
