Where to store XML files in Rails

Question

I am writing a Ruby on Rails site which loads some data from an "local" XML file which I have. Where is a logical place in the rails directory structure to store this file?

Answer 1

Main question here is for what reason you have that XML files: configuration info or data storage. If first - then best place will be congif folder, otherwise - anywhere you like except public folder, you could even create xml folder inside app one.
