Providing Hadoop Config with password

i am trying to access an MapR-DB over network, and I'm struggeling to provide the Hadoop Configuration class with the path to the password file. (I know an application server shouldn't read from its filesystem but right now I don't see another way to provide Hadoop with the pw.

So right now I'm trying to access a file which is laying in "WEB-INF/classes" folder. It is a plain text file "example.pw" which contains just the password in plain text.

My first question: Is that gonna work when I'm referencing the file right? My second question: How to reference the file right, I'm having problems to find it. Here's the code:

        File file = new File("WEB-INF/classes/example.pw");
        System.out.println("yoooooooo fileabs:" + file.getAbsolutePath());
        System.out.println("yoooooooo filecan:" + file.getCanonicalPath());
        System.out.println("yoooooooo fileex:" + file.exists());
        System.out.println("yoooooooo filecre:" + file.createNewFile());

Heres the output:

11:17:41,266 INFO  [stdout] (default task-3) yoooooooo fileabs:/WEB-INF/classes/example.pw
11:17:41,267 INFO  [stdout] (default task-3) yoooooooo filecan:/WEB-INF/classes/example.pw
11:17:41,267 INFO  [stdout] (default task-3) yoooooooo fileex:false

Usually when I tried things like this I just looked on the canonical/absolute path to see where the program is looking, but it won't show. Thanks for help!
