Re: setting the classpath variable

[randie ursal]

why is it tomcat could not locate the property file if i place it on the
package directory structure of my servlets?...it is still on the WEB-INF/classes
directory isnt it? just need some more clarifications.

e.g  WEB-INF/classess/com/test/MyProperty.properties

thanks

Hi,

you can also do something like this :

Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/MyProperties.properties"));

With this syntax you just put the file in the WEB_INF/classes directory and
the ClassLoader found it there.

NB : this exemple comes from another mailing list "Tomcat-users"

hi,

 i have this newbie question.

 here is the scenario, i have a servlet that will read a ".properties"
 file and i make use of the PropertyResourceBundle class to read the
 value from the property file.

 the problem is that the PropertyResourceBundle doesn't find the
 properties file.

 the API for ResourceBundle said that my properties file must be set on
 the classpath.

 so, how do i set this file so that it will be located by my servlet?

 i tried placing my properties file on the /lib directory of my web
 application but it doesn't work...or do i have to explicitly include
 it on my classpath environment variable?
      

Servlet containers provide protected class paths. You could put your
property file in the "WEB-INF/classes" directory of your war file (or
directory structure).
