Locating property files

[Gary Raley]

My servlet requires access to a properties file and I'm trying to
determine the best implementation.   I tried copying the properties file
to the Webapps\"ContextRoot"\Web-Inf\lib directory, but Tomcat could not
locate the file.  I had to add the properties file to the classpath
within TOMCAT.BAT to enable Tomcat to locate the properties file.  Is
this my only solution?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Gary
