Where we should put file that we want to read as stream in project folder?

Hello every, I use Struts for framework and try to read excel file that stored in project folder with POI API.
However, I don't know where we should put the original file in the project.
When build project, the file will be included to deployed folder automatically.
Actually, I've put it in web content folder or WEB-INF, the first time of building, the file was included to deployed folder.
When I deleted the file in deployed folder and started building again, the file was not include to deployed folder.

Please could you give me some suggestion.

I didn't get your question clearly.

Do you want to make that excel file as part of your project war or you want to separate out from the project?

Typically if its tightly coupled with your project and its never going to change, put it in the project war. You can dump it under WEB-INF/classes folder so that you don't need to do jugglery while getting the file.

See if it helps ...
