Howdy,
I agree with under WEB-INF as that's a directory the servlet container
will protect for you.  

I don't like to put configuration information on the classpath however.
I prefer to access them via other mechanisms, such as the
ServletContext.  So I would create a directory called config under
WEB-INF, put the file (say a.props) there, and access it via 
InputStream is =
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/config/a.props");

Good  options all. I was leaning towards /WEB-INF/. I like Yoav's 
suggestion for the more pure organizational aspect. However, could one 
also just:

InputStream is = ServletContext.getResourceAsStream( "/WEB-INF/a.props"); ?

I'd recommend WEB-INF/classes - then it's in the classpath.

I think web-inf folder - since tomcat wont serve files contained

Q: where is the proper place for [props].properties files? such as
something that might store username and password pairs. Not the best
practice, but if one wanted to.
