Where to store the DB connection details for a JSP code

Question

I am connecting to an oracle DB from a JAVA code which in turn is called from a JSP page. But i am confused as to whether a normal configuration/properties file is the best place to store the connection details to the DB.

Apologies if this sounds too silly.

Thanks in Advance
