War file reading permission

I am trying to deploy a war file on a server but I am getting an error that the war file does not have reading permission. The war file looks something similar to this

META-INF/manifest.mf

WEB-INF/web.xml

WEB-INF/classes/file1.class

WEB-INF/classes/prop.properties

TEMPLATE/file.xml

The file1 class should be able to read file.xml. In the code, I am refering to the file.xml as Template/file.xml.

Then, I put the file.xml with the classes so the structure:

META-INF/manifest.mf

WEB-INF/web.xml

WEB-INF/classes/file1.class

WEB-INF/classes/prop.properties

WEB-INF/classes/file.xml

and it didn't work. What is my mistake?
