Class.getResourceAsStream() will delegate to the classloader to find the
resource (searches the classpath) , see
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)
The tomcat site has an excellent description of Tomcat's classloading :
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html , this
should bring you to the conclusion that the above won't work.
You should put your sqljdbc4.properties file in WEB-INF/classes, or in
WEB-INF/lib if packaged in a jar file.
If you reference it from your application, make sure you prepend a "/" (or
it will search in your servlet's package) .
I've seen mention of using:

can you be a bit more specific where you get a null value (show some lines
of code)...
although the above won't bring you to the content of the property file, you
only have defined a key/value pair.
