Deployment of enterprise app with external resources (binary file)

Hi. Where do I configure/add external resources (such as a text or binary file) in an enterprise app so that they will also be deployed to a WebSphere Express server? Should they be added to the enterprise app at all, or should they simply be moved up to a server directory? (I am trying to avoid a hardcoded file path in my servlet.)

I could use a properties file, but I was wondering if there is something in one of the deployment descriptor settings that would help me out?

I need one of my servlets to stream in this external binary file after the enterprise app has been deployed to a WebSphere Express server.

Thank you.
