Problem in Locating a properties File (Not application.properties)
The application.properties file in my web application
works OKay.
I have another file called
storageDirectory.properties, which has one line:
outputFile =
C:\\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\\webapps\\AppName\\var\\
I set my classpath to
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java
One of my class in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java\org\OrganizationName\content
directory tries to read this
storageDirectory.properties file:
final String PROPFILE = "storageDirectory.properties";
Properties oProp = null;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( PROPFILE );
oProp = new Properties();
oProp.load ( fis );
I put this storageDirectory.properties in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java
directory.
I then put this storageDirectory.properties in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java\resources
directory.
No matter where I put this properties file, I get this
runtime error message:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
storageDirectory.properties (The system cannot find
the file specified)
And it points to this statement:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( PROPFILE );

Caroline,
You need to use getResourceAsStream() method from
ServletConfig class.
request.getSession().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/filename.properties");
This will return you an InputStream that you can pass
to Properties.loadProperties() and make it work.
The "/" represents the context root.
