not readin properties file in tomcat 3.2, getting unsafe path exception

[Jo...@ibsplc.com]

Hi All,

I have following  folder  structuer in Web-inf:

"/Web-inf/conf/umsjsp.properties"

I am attempting to read the "umsjsp.properties" using
SevletContext.getResourceAsStream

the source code:

public void setProperties(javax.servlet.ServletContext application)
throws Exception
    {
        if (properties==null)
        {
            InputStream is = null;
            // read from top of any classpath entry
            is = application.getResourceAsStream
("/Web-inf/conf/umsjsp.properties");
         //application.get
         System.out.println("IN GETPROPERTIES "+is);
            properties = new Properties();
            properties.load(is);
            //System.out.println("IN GETPROPERTIES "+is);
            System.out.println("IN PORP "+properties);
        }
    }

but I am getting an exception and following is printed on the console

"Unsafe path  D:\tomcat\ums /Web-inf/conf/umsjsp.properties"

The same code works perfectly in orion.

Can some one tell me why this is happening and what i should be doing.

I am using Tomcat 3.2 on Winnt machine.

Please help

Regards
John Thomas
