Hello, I had a very simple question that I have been struggling with and any help on which I would greatly appreciate. I am trying to run servlets on IIS using tomcat below IIS. I have an external *.properties file that contains all the initial arguments for my servlet. Can anybody tell me how I can get this properties file loaded every time the servlet is invoked by the browser.
I tried giving the properties name and file location in the web.xml file in the init param section but I still get an error message in the browser saying it did not find the file. I have tried both C:\jakarta-tomcat.... and, the partial \WEB-INF\.... as the param value. I heard an other option is to extend init and load the file. Details regarding any of this will be greatly appreciated. I am new to most of this stuff.... Please help!!! Thanks. Raghu
