[tomcat 6.0.35]- propert loadin
Hi All,
My application need a "resource/properties" file to exist in the CLASSPATH, for this i placed my resource file in <CATALINA_BASE>/bin folder & it was working fine.
But since yesterday my application reporting the error that properties file doesnt exist in classpath/path
In order to fix then i created the lib folder in my <CATALINA_BASE> & placed my "properties/resourc"e file over there, which eventually fixed my application CLASSPATH issue.
But the thing which makes me wonder that how my application was able to access the properties file earlier when i placed it <CATALINA_BASE>/bin location
& what makes it to stop now.
Kindly suggest what all can be the scenarios/prossible use case for this,
TOmcat version - 6.0.35
Thanks

Vicky:
Unless there's some reason you need to have this properties files available to all applications running in Tomcat (unusual, but not unheard of), you should probably be putting the properties file in your application, in WEB-INF/classes, which is always on the application classpath (per the JEE spec). Another way to handle it is to JAR it up into a JAR file and put it into WEB-INF/lib, but that's a bit trickier. Just a thought: that way other applications can use different values for the same properties. But if it's working for you....

Thanks Andre & Tim for your comments,so for this peculiar behavior that means there is no reason that y it worked when placing the properties file in <CATALINA_BASE>/bin
Thanks,

But let this be a warning, as She does not always act so benignly when one Jerry-rigs
one's classpath.

The only reasonable explanation is that you angered the Supreme Tomcat
God by putting your resource in {CATALINA_BASE}/bin. Being indisposed
to suffer fools for long, she removed it and made you do penance by
putting it in a Sanctioned location such as {CATALINA_BASE}/lib. Be
Glad O Sister! The Tomcat God is Merciful and Smiles down upon you!

If it's for an application, then you should put it into the
application's WEB-INF/classes directory where it belongs.

Your CATALINA_BASE doesn't need a lib/ directory. Put it in
WEB-INF/classes in your webapp.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Stop throwing things into Tomcat's installation directory when you
don't need to.
