If you deploy your app as a WAR file, then it is the correct result since
there is no real directory to return
But you can use this code
InputStream is =
servlet.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(pathName);
where pathName is the context path to your file in the WAR archive. (ie
/WEB-INF/yourFileName.txt)
Good luck.
