open xsd file in web-inf/xsd

I want to open the xsd file in the web-inf/xsd/output.xsd This is what I am trying to do

URL url = portletContext.getResource("WEB-INF/xsd/output.xsd");

getResource returns URL but in my case I am getting NullPointerException and I need to supply this to the newFile to open the file.

File newFile = new File("");

I am confused how to get this working.

UPDATE

Please bear with my english. I got this working. I have a question, I have another file *.xsl file which would be used to generate the PDF. I cannot delete this file after opening, what would be the effect on the JVM if a file is left open I mean >100 users trying to create the PDF i.e., *.xsl file will be opened 100 times, in future application is used heavily by the users, does the GC automatically clear all the file descriptors opened?

From the API doc of javax.portlet.PortletContext it describes that:

... The path must begin with a slash (/) and is interpreted as relative to the current context root (which usually is the WebContent or web directory of your web application) This method allows the portlet container to make a resource available to portlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or remote file system, in a database, or in a .war file.
