In the working directory of the process. Of course you need enough free disk space.
There is also -XX:HeapDumpPath=DIRECTORY_OR_FILE (Caution: I don't know, if all JVM versions that implement -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError, implement this one too). You should check in the process table (if it's a unix like system) if your switches are picked up appropriately. Also you can check their function by wrinting a simple java app, that has an unterminated loop allocating objects and setting the heap size to a small value, which should prodice an OurOfmemoryError and a heap dump.
