I am using this method: 
    your.package.YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/yourconfig.cfg") 

to access my .properties file.  I have the location in my classpath, but am 
still not able to find the file.  Does the file need to be inside Tomcat to be 
read, or can I have it anywhere on the file system?

Thanks,

Nate

  If you want to read in a file in your classpath (without exactly knowing 
where to find) you have to do following: 

  your.package.YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/yourconfig.cfg") 

  Note: The SLASH before configuration file name is important. Without it, java 
won't search for this file into your classpath. 
  It will then only look if this file is in the same folder, where your class 
lies: 

  YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream("yourconfig.cfg") 
  -->Config had to lie here /your/package/yourconfig.cfg
