It's definitely a bad thing to do.  You should be using 
ServletContext#getResourceAsStream().  That will let your code avoid the 
assumption that there even is an underlying file system (nothing in the servlet 
spec requires it), or, if it exists, that the container will allow you to 
access the file system (the servlet spec only requires that the container 
provide access to a temporary work area).
