how to handle resources on server side (maven gwt)

i need some files on sever side but the normal: put it in "resources"-Folder(i created one because webappcreator didn't) and use MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/" + "filename"); does not work?! i allways get null. usind FileInputStream and absolute path works. gwt-maven-plugin copies the file to target but it seems that it is not part of classpath?!
what is the normal way to use resources on server side in a gwt/maven project?

thx in advance
