An alternative approach that doesn't need access to the servlet instance
should work for you. Put your properties file (say, "myprops.properties"
in
the WEB-INF/classes directory. Now, you can access it like this:
InputStream stream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("
myprops.properties");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(stream);
stream.close();
Exactly what I need !
Thanks
