I believe it is WEB-INF/classes that is the "default" class path for the 
web app. Of course you could put the file anywhere and then write the path 
to the file as a context-wide parameter in your web.xml. The reason I 
didn't like this is I had to change it when we moved from dev to prod - 
and I always ended up forgetting. I later changed my ant build file so my 
prod war had the correct version, but finally I just preferred the simple 
solution of putting it under WEB-INF/classes..:)
