Reading

Hi,

I am trying to read a properties file

in a java class which will be used as a bean for a JSP page . But I can not read properties file and it is saying "File Not Found" . I am able to read the file if I give fullpath or if I keep that file in tomcat/bin/ . Is there any other solution ?

Regards,

RaviShankar

Thank you Madhav .

I am placing the "properties" file in the same directory as of .class file of bean . That is /ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/ .

I can read the properties file if I give the path as "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/xxx.properties " . But I can not rad the file if I give "xxx.properties" or "/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/xxx.properties" .

If you want to use the relative path like:

"xxx.properties", then the properties file

should be in the /ROOT folder and NOT under the

classes folder. Also, you should know that any file

under WEB-INF/ folder is private. Thought

you should know this.
