where to put text file in war packing spring boot

Question

I have a spring boot web project, and I have some kind of DB(data-base) in few text files(I don't want to use MongoDB or MySQL), and my whole project works, but once I pack it in war it says error 500 and that it cant find these text files that have crucial information.

Where do I need to put these text files?

Considering you are using Spring Boot, add this dependency and then load it to your boot app::

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.ulisesbocchio</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-jar-resources</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version>
</dependency>



public static void main(String[] args) {
        StandardEnvironment environment = new StandardEnvironment();
        new SpringApplicationBuilder()
            .sources(SpringBootJarResourcesDemoApplication.class)
            .environment(environment)
            .resourceLoader(new JarResourceLoader(environment, "resources.extract.dir"))
            .build()
            .run(args);
    }
