The way I do it is to do something like the following:
URL url = getClass().getResource("/com/company/product/ThisClass.class");
String path = url.getPath();
The result ofpath will be something like
c:/java/mywork/classes/com/company/product/ThisClass.class
As I typically store config files in a directory called 'conf' at the same
level as com, I then use string methods to strip away the com portion
onwards, then look for the directory 'conf' containing my file.
If the class is in a jar file, the path will contain a '!' somewhere, and
the returned path will be the jar file name, so just strip this off.

Subject: War files and Config files
> Hi,
>
> I'm trying to deploy servlets using a WAR files. Everything works fine
except I can't read the configuration files from the servlet code.
>
> The code reading the configuration file is as follows:
>
> input = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("test.properties");
> properties.load(input);
>
> This code assumes that the file "test.properties" is in the class path.
>
> Where should I put the property file in the WAR file so that it is in the
class path?
>
> If this can't be done, how should I structure my code around this problem?
>
> I'm using Tomcat 3.2
>
> Thank you very much
