Caroline,
You need to use getResourceAsStream() method from
ServletConfig class.
request.getSession().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/filename.properties");
This will return you an InputStream that you can pass
to Properties.loadProperties() and make it work.
The "/" represents the context root.
