A cleaner way would be to acquire, from within your servlet, the
ServletContext
corresponding to the root context. Unless overridden by a
default-web-module,
this will give you the ServletContext corresponding to the
container-specific
webmodule deployed at "/" whose docbase corresponds to the virual server's
docroot, as follows:
ServletContext sc = getServletContext().getContext("/");
// Acquire URL for the docroot's index.html (or any other
resource stored in [...]/docroot)
URL url = sc.getResource("/index.html");
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
// Start reading ...
