WEB-INF/classes is good; you can load it as a resource.

XML config files are purer.

I actually have used a two level config setup in the past; a hostname config
can point to a cluster config; off the cluster config comes all the settings
shared by >1 box in a cluster, including log4J settings, security policies
(who can call your endpoints), etc.

It works provided that ops gave you all the right config info from the
beginning. But if you do need to change a setting on a cluster, you need to
edit every box in turn. Hence the plan to move LDAP/JNDI
