How do I access these files from my java classes in the src folder. I am not even sure if context path is the right term for the root folder of the application so please enlighten me too on this part.

    ServletContext.getRealPath method can be used to get the context path. ServletContext.getRealPath("/") returns the webapp root path. Path for WEB-INF/jasperreports would be:

    ServletContext sc = getServletContext();
String reportPath = sc.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/jasperreports");

    You can initialize you java classes from a Servlet of ServletContextListener where you can get reference for ServletContext by respectively the inherited getServletContext() and the servletContextEvent.getServletContext().
