your xml file in your war file.  Here is the interface to get it

        InputStream is =

Hope it helps

Subject: Reading an XML File From a Servlet

Hi,

I have a controller servlet which reads its configuration information
from an xml file.  I can do this relative to my local file system.
My question is how to get the servlet to read the xml file from the
WEB-INF directory once packaged in a typical WAR file.
I'm lost regarding what the steps to follow or where to find a good
example on how to achieve this.  For example, do I need to
declare a resource in the webapp's web.xml? Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
