using external source file in place of inline instance

Hi
If I had a folder called 'testapp' under the 'apps' folder in Tomcat, a view.xhtml, page-flow.xml, a data.xml file, etc. and in my xhtml how can I reference the data.xml in the 'src' attribute. I know it should be something like src="...."
If my data.xml file is right under testapp, then how can I reference this file in src. My attempts at trying to access this file from the src attribute are failing.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

thanks

In the xforms controls example, external instances are loaded like this:

<xforms:instance id="instance"
src="oxf:/apps/xforms-controls/main-xforms-instance.xml"/>
<xforms:instance id="resources-instance"
src="oxf:/apps/xforms-controls/resources.xml"/>

Does this work?:

<xforms:instance id="data-instance" src="oxf:/apps/testapp/data.xml"/>
