Put the properties files somewhere under WEB-INF, e.g. in
WEB-INF/conf/myprops.properties, and use ServletContext.getResourceAsStream()
to read it:
InputStream is = ctx.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/conf/myprops.properties");
If you do this in a bean, you must first give the bean access to the
ServletContext object. The "application" variable contains a reference:
<jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="app" value="<%= application %>" />
A better approach, IMHO, is to use a custom action as an interface to
the bean. A custom action has access to the ServletContext, as well as
all other request and application data, automatically and is easier to
use in a page. For more about custom actions, read a good JSP book that
covers JSP 1.1, for instance the book I wrote:
