Using getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/test.xml") should work just fine. I don't see any reason why the inputstream would be empty. I use this technique all the time.

I'm trying to read in a configuration file I have stored in my /WEB-INF directory from my servlet init() using getServletConfig().getResource(...) as follows:
public void init() throws ServletException
{
...
String config = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("config");
URL url = getServletContext().getResource(config);
...
}
If I set the config init parameter to something like this (the /WEB-INF/test.xml file does exist):
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/test.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
I get back the following jndi URL from getResource():
jndi:/localhost/sandbox/WEB-INF/test.xml
The same code running under resin returns a file URL as I would expect. The problem is that if I replace the getResource() call with a getResourceAsStream() under tomcat, the input stream will be empty. Can anyone out there explain this behavior and how to work around it?
