You can put it in the WEB-INF/classes directory as Tim has suggested, or it
can be in the top-level of any of the jars in the WEB-INF/lib directory and
it will also be found. If you're using Tomcat. Try doing a
System.out.println() on one of your classes' ClassLoader object. It will
give you a rundown of all of the places where it will look for resources.
It's VERY helpful when trying to figure out where things are loaded from and
in what order. The docs help too. :-) I would suggest using the
WEB-INF/classes directory, though. That's the absolute first place it will
look.
