Using JNDI variables is considered a good option as it is part of J2EE specs ... And that it is supported by all j2ee app servers and web containers.
I cant think of anything else because your context can come from not only base webapps but from any where else Example : manager / admin application in tomcat .... So better use JNDI variable to the fullpath of the configuration file and then open it :o) This is because if you deploy the app as a .war then you wont be able to do getResourceAsStream(fileName) withing that context. Need more help ?
