Giving us a hint about what OS you're using might help, along with the mechanism you're using to start Tomcat. If you're running it as a Windows service, environment variables will not be available. (Don't confuse environment variables with system properties like a previous respondent did - they're entirely separate.) Reading properties files or other configuration this way will be conainer and platform specific; you may well be better off using ServletContext.getResourceAsStream() or Class.getResourceAsStream(), which would make your app more portable. See the Servlet spec, the mailing list archives, and Google for details. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
