I know what Dave is saying you can do, and he is right, but ...... If
you store the files inside WEB-INF, you can still give all users
programmic access. The advantage in doing this is that you might find
in time that you need in the futrue to give some files limited access.
If they are inside WEB-INF, then you can do so easily. What I do is to
provide a resources directory under WEB-INF which holds all content
types with their separate directories by extention, e.g.
WEB-INF
resources
gif
jpeg
jpg
pdf
ttf
And so on.

store them?
In this case, it looks like anywhere in your app except WEB-INF. Keep
in mind that if your deployment process involves deleting your web-app
and reconstructing (such as is the case with many war based deployment
systems), then you could lose previously uploaded files.
