But my understanding is that if you put a file, say, called filename, immediately under WEB-INF/, you can get to it by doing getServletContext().getResource(filename).

Re: Trouble loading properties file
Milt, I was using the following: Properties p = new Properties(); p.load(new FileInputStream(filename)); but I'll try the getServletContext().getResource(filename) Thanks a lot!

RE: Trouble loading properties file
probably you should try this: InputStream is = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(/WEB-INF/ + filename); assuming your file is put under /WEB-INF/ directory. --Nimchi -Original Message- From: Kiev Gama [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Trouble loading properties file Milt, I was using the following: Properties p = new Properties(); p.load(new FileInputStream(filename)); but I'll try the getServletContext().getResource(filename) Thanks a lot!

Re: Trouble loading properties file
Please stop emailing me. I am not a member of Tomcat, nor do I know anything about it. I have never been a member of them I have emailed them several times asking them to remove me from their member email member list, but they have failed to do so. I am asking you to stop. Some of the emails I have recived have had a virus attached to them.

It might be the current directory, i.e. when the servlet container was started, but who knows what that is. but I'll try the getServletContext().getResource(filename) You should have better luck with this. Note that you might have to use /WEB-INF/filename as the argument to getResource. And you can get a stream from getResource returns, or perhaps use getResourceAsStream instead, to feed to p.load().
