Accessing local files through a servlet in glassfish

meatwadFeb 10 2011 — edited Feb 11 2011

I need a way to access a configuration file from a servlet but keep it hidden from the end user/client. This is the method I have previously used in Oracle App server:

filepath = getServletContext().getResource("/cfgfile").getPath();
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filepath);

This worked. However in glassfish this technique returns a true url to a file in the document root. That would be ok but it allows the user to view it from a web browser as well and I want to prevent that. Is there a way I can do this?
