I think the problem is where is this file being found, i.e. what
directory/folder? It might be the "current directory", i.e. when the
servlet container was started, but who knows what that is.

You should have better luck with this. Note that you might have to
use "/WEB-INF/filename" as the argument to getResource. And you can
get a stream from getResource returns, or perhaps use
getResourceAsStream instead, to feed to p.load().
