Default directory structure - simple question.

I guess I should have phrased my question differently.

I do not know what directory path to use in order to point to the "web" or "qeb/resources" directories.

I will have somethng like:

String path = configDir+"configFIle.cfg"

What I don't know is what to use for configDir.

configDir = ? in order to point to the project 'web' or 'web/resources'

directories.

Ah OK, now I see .. You can use a propertiesfile and put it in the classpath (inside a WAR, it can be the root of the package or the WEB-INF/lib directory). Then you can retrieve it by ClassLoader#getSystemResourceAsStream().

Basically:

String filename = "config.properties";

InputStream input = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream(filename);

Properties properties = new Properties();

properties.load(input);

input.close();

String someKey = properties.getProperty("someKey");

Where config.properties looks like:someKey = someValue

anotherKey = anotherValue

Also see the [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html]java.util.Properties[/url] API.
