Upon further examination of the spec page above, I would guess that a
better way (more flexible) would be to specify the relative URI of your
file as an <init-param> value, and then do a getRealPath() to convert
that into a real path

No, no, no - there is *never* any guarantee that getRealPath() will return anything.  
(Personally, I think it should be deprecated; it's bloody dangerous.)  Use 
getResourceAsStream(), as previously suggested.  Using <init-param> is 
certainly a good idea if you don't want to hard-code the path in the servlet code.

I don't want to hijack the OP's thread any further, so I'll leave it at that, and start a new one on this (resource file location).
