Thanks to everyone who replied. I now have a choice of methods for
solving the problem. :-)

Put your config file under /WEB-INF. You can then read this as follows:

where to put file so web service
Please respond to can read it?

Hi,
I have a web service which needs to read a property from a configuration
file, but I can't work out where in the webapp to put the configuration
file so the web service implmentation class can read it. I've tried
putting it in WEB-INF/classes, in the root directory of the web app, in
WEB-INF, in the same directory as the class which reads it, and in
pretty much every other directory you can think of, but I keep getting a
FileNotFoundException.
If I hard code the full path to the file (C:/..... on Windows or
/home/richard...... on Linux) in my service it can find and read it, but
this isn't really an option as the service will be deployed on different
machines by different customers so the path will vary.
If anyone can give me some suggestions I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Richard.
