Put the file somewhere in WebContent. There where your JSP files also are. Or did you abuse the Servlet to generate the HTML output? Well, at least, the public files needs to be placed in the WebContent folder. The folder name might differ from environment to environment, but it is at least the very same root folder where the WEB-INF folder resides. You normally place public content there.
