GWT Application Configuration File

I am really confused and hoping someone can give some direction. I am working on a GWT Spring application and want to store some application specific data in an xml config file which can be accessed on the server side. How and where should I store this and how can I access this data.

I want to do the same thing that the appSettings.config does in c#.net.

thanks.

war/WEB-INF

That folder is accessible by the server-side code, but not any clients over the internet.

Sources:

Reading the file

I suggest storing your configuration in a Java Properties file (eg: config.properties). That way you can load and read easily using java.util.Properties, as described on this stackoverflow post.

java.util.Properties also lets you load from an XML file.
