Excellent. This is exactly the information I needed.
I've done something like this in loadConfiguration:
Properties p = new Properties();
String propsFile = "/velocity.properties";
InputStream istream =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(propsFile);
if ( istream != null )
{ p.load( istream ); }
Works great. Thanks.

Blair,
One thing to consider is that putting the file in "/" means that, in
general, it's accessible as a web document (e.g.
http://server:port/context/velocity.properties). If you put it in WEB-INF as
Endre originally mentioned, it can't be accessed because the spec dictates
that that directory not be accessible.
FWIW...

String propsFile = "/velocity.properties";

Works great. Thanks.
