I have a bunch of javascript files contained in an xyz.war file on my
JBoss server. I need a way using servlets (not JSP) to load them into
memory using InputStreams, process them and then send them back out to
the client's web browser. My problem is I can't figure out how to
access these files through a servlet I also want to keep it as dynamic
as possible since I don't know where this code may end up.

If they are in WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib then you can use
ClassLoader getResourceAsStream to read them.

If not then you can try open it as a file via getServletContext
getRealPath.

This is the path returned by the getRealPath("") call.

C:\Program Files\jboss-4.2.0.GA\server\default\.\tmp\deploy
\tmp3242525634535.war\

Can't be found and where did the "." come from.

If your JS files are inside the war then they should be
unpacked in some dir (and the above seems correct if the JS
files are indeed in the root of the war).
