If you are only reading the file, you could also put it in your
$/WEB-INF/classes folder and use the class loader to get an input
stream. That way, if you jar/war the file up, it will still find it.
Like this:
InputStream is =
Thread.
currentThread().
getContextClassLoader().
getResourceAsStream("config.txt");
Also, a change to config.txt will trigger a reload, so in development,
you do not need to restart or otherwise force the file to get reloaded.
Not sure if this makes sense in your case, but it is another option.

getServletContext.getRealPath("/config.txt") will return the path to
config.txt in the root of your apps directory.
