Carig,
I tried this it does not work. I can't get the stream.
I have a property file in the classes directory- where
I all my classes are. My code is:
MyClass thisInstance = new MyClass();
InputStream stream =
thisInstance.getClass().getResourceAsStream(propFile);
if ( stream != null) {
props.load(stream);
stream.close();
}else System.out.println("The stream null");
Thanks
Sanjay
