How to access to a resource in the ADF application?

Question

Hi
I have a jasper report file named report.jrxml in the following path in my ADF application named “app”:
app\ViewController\src\org\nmp\app\view\report
I wanna access to this file inside a java file located in the ViewController project as follows:
InputStreaminSt = new FileInputStream(new File(“app\ViewController\src\org\nmp\app\view\report\report.jrxml”));
But I get the following exception:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: app\ViewController\src\org\nmp\app\view\report\report.jrxml (The system cannot find the path specified)
How could I access to this resource in my application? I am using JDev 11.1.2.3
Cheers,
Ferez

Timo,
I made a test case named fileaccess and uploaded it here:

Just open the project in JDev 11.1.2.3, the Model project is empty and in the viewController project there is a single page named home.jsf in which contains a commandButton. Clicking the button executes the #{fileAccess.readFile} method. The fileAccess bean is located in org.company.fileaccess.view.beans and introduced in faces-config.xml. Body of readFile method is as the following:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("/org/company/fileaccess/view/resources/file.txt")); file.txt is located in org.company.fileaccess.view.resources and viewController project is set to copy .txt files into output directory. Clicking the button causes FileNotFoundException.
Thank you in advance,
