Have you tried a leading slash?
file1 = getServletContext().getResource( "/WEB-INF/log4j.xml" );
What we do, is get the "real" path with:
String realPath = this.getServletContext().getRealPath( "/WEB-INF/dir" );
new File( realPath, fileName );
We do this because getResource() is so dependent on ClassLoaders.
