Hi Gundars
I have used new FileInputStream("servlet.properties") with no problems
but then servlet.properties should be in
Tomcat /bin directory. Method
getClass().getResourceAsStream("servlet.properties"); will work if you
have the file
in the classpath.

private String getPropertyFromFile(String name) throws ServletException
{
try {
Properties dbProps = new Properties();
// InputStream propStream =
getClass().getResourceAsStream("/servlet.properties");
InputStream propStream = new
FileInputStream("servlet.properties");
dbProps.load(propStream);
String param = dbProps.getProperty(name);
propStream.close();
return param;
}
catch (Exception e) {
log("Error loading properties"+e.toString());
throw new ServletException();
}
}

Be careful here - getRealPath() can return null when the application is
deployed in a WAR if the app server does not expand it (some app server
do in fact serve the files straight from the WAR). I got bitten by this
recently.
Instead try looking at the getResource() and getResourceAsStream()
methods.
