I am using Java, GWT and Eclipse. I have a static XML file I want to parse to get certain data that will fill in list boxes and other info. How can I read the static XML file in both the server and client side of the code? Where do I put the XML file? Also, where can I put it if I only want the server to have access to it (since it contains sensitive data)?

If you need it on a server side only, put it in the /war/WEB-INF directory, and you can read it directly in your server code.
You can use a DataResource if you need a file on the client side:

If you want this file accessible on the client side, put it in the /war directory.
