Howdy, How does it open the file? Specifically, because it needs to be on the classpath chances are you're not doing file I/O but rather ClassLoader#getResource. This is good. You just have to know the argument to ClassLoader#getResource. If it's a simple "/emapi.cfg" then put emapi.cfg in WEB-INF/classes. If it's "emapi.cfg" then put the file under WEB-INF/classes/path/to/package/that's/making/the/call.
