I did that for a while but changed when teting them became difficult. By putting them in the classpath, you can test without any monkey-business (tech. term) to get the ServletContext, and the class that gets the config is also not coupled to servlets, so I can use it for a swing app, or command line utility.

So I would create a directory called config under WEB-INF, put the file (say a.props) there, and access it via InputStream is = ServletContext.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/config/a.props"); --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
