Directory of XML DOM file in Java based web application

[Zagete]

I'm currently playing with Java based web application. There is one query which I couldn't find any relevant document. I hope someone can give a hand here.Instead of database, I tried to use the XML DOM to represent some simple data in my Java based web application to associate with HTML through javascript. However, I really not sure where is the best directory location to put this file. The JDK I used is Eclipse. Hence, should I put it under WebContent/META-INF or WebContent/WEB-INF? (Since I only wanted to use the XML DOM to associate with HTML, I thought there is no point that I should put it under src directory for Javabeans and JavaServlets. Am I right?)
