I do not know if you are using Tomcat, but if you are I think you
should try to put the file in the /WEB-INF/classes directory of your
application. In this directory you should put classes and resources
that are unpacked. Classes and resources in jar-files should be put in
the /WEB-INF/lib. Classes and resources that are put in these
directories are visible only to the containing web application, but to
no others.
