You need to designate static file as described here:

You can definitely store statis files and process them as required in your application. Please keep your files into a folder that is not directly accessible by others.

I suggest the following:

  1. Keep the files inside of /WEB-INF/myfiles or some folder like that inside of the /WEB-INF folder.
  2. Use the File APIs to read the content of the files.

Hope this helps.
