If the file in question is inside your webapp, the servlet API lets
you *read* it quite easily. For example, lets say you are Struts :-),
and you want to read the web.xml file so you can figure out what
servlet mapping is being used (typically "/do/*" or "*.do") for
ActionServlet.
ServletContext context = ... get reference to ServletContext
InputStream stream = context.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/web.xml");
The ServletContext reference is available from a bunch of places ...
from inside an Action, simply call:
ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
