You're assuming path names are magically converted into web-app-relative paths
inside a web application; this isn't the case.
Nor is this a classpath issue if you're trying to get files from the
filesystem. If you *are* trying to access resources from the classpath then the
resources would need to be on the classpath, which is /WEB-INF/classes (by
default, anyway).
If you are accessing *filesystem* resources then you need to convert
web-app-relative paths like "/WEB-INF/users.properties" into an actual path.
Things like ServletContext.getRealPath(...) are good for that.
Unless you're deploying an un-exploded WAR file, in which case it will fail,
which is why people like getting things from the classpath.
