There are too many unknown constraints to answer - but I'll try.

In app B - use an init parameter which is a filename where test.xml is 
located.
     <context-param>
         <param-name>myfile</param-name>
         <param-value>/usr/local/more/cowbell/test.xml</param-value>
     </context-param>

Then when app b needs to write the file;
File f = new File(servletContext.getInitParameter("myfile"));
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f);
fw.write(stuff);
...

If you need to read the file from app B, use a file reader. This is an 
easy way to keep the apps decoupled
