RE: Loading properties file for an external class

[Klein, Scott @ TW]

Well, I have no idea why - but I switched to using a ResourceBundle and it
worked. 

It doesn't seem like it should matter - except for how a bundle obtains its
class loader.

If anyone has some insight into _why_ this fixed the problem....

In the meantime, thanks for the help!

Not sure about this method since we just use ResourceBundle and it does all
of the classpath searching for us:

       try
        {
            // if you put Prop.properties in your base
WEB-INF/classes/Prop.properties
            java.util.ResouceBundle bundle =
java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle("Prop"); // the .properties is assumed

            // or if you put Prop.properties in a package name:
WEB-INF/classes/com/host/config/Prop.properties
            java.util.ResouceBundle bundle =
java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.host.config.Prop"); // the
.properties is assumed
            java.util.Enumeration keys = bundle.getKeys();

            String oneProp = bundle.getString("oneprop");
        }
        catch( java.util.MissingResourceException e )
        {
            String msg = "PropertiesFile - Could not load properties file '"
+ bundleName + "': " + e.getMessage();
            throw e;
        }
