Why not use a Properties file which you can get the class loader to locate
for you using call similar to:
properties.load(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/myfile.properties"));
Just place the file at the root level of your (web project) source tree,
so that it is copied either to WEB-INF/classes or built into a jar file
placed in WEB-INF/lib when your app is deployed.
Make sure that the path to the file matches the directory (or package
folder) that you place the properties file in.
This technique works fine with Tomcat, or with a regular java app.
