BTW, "in the same place" means something like "in the same location in a
class path".
There are times when our code is in a jar file under WEB-INF/lib and the
properties file(s) are in the appropriate location under WEB-INF/classes.
This allows the properties to be changed without dealing with the .jar file.
Because WEB-INF/classes is searched before WEB-INF/lib (AFAIK), properties
files in /classes will override those in /lib jar files.
