It sounds like you're not building these within the deployed
application, but adding them at build time.
Why can't your application read the files from WEB-INF/classes with
getResourceAsStream?
We put a bunch of configuration information in our web applications.
We tend to load these up with a servlet context listener at startup,
and then make the information available via a singleton. The
information isn't changed while the application is available.
