how to get the current path?

[Louis]

Hi,    I got a servlet and it will call another class.  In that class I need to read a properties file.  But i don't know where to put my properties file, I try to put anywhere, but still got file not found error.  So what method i can use to know the current path of that class will reading?   for example, The servlet testDB is in directory      WEB-INF /com/iss/npd/servlets And the class file dbConnect is in directory     WEB-INF/com/iss/npd/database   The dbConnect will  read the database.properties file, anyone can tell me where I can put this file?   In JMC, Servlet Definitions I give this Name=testDB, Class Name = com.iss.npd.servlets.testDB then in Servlet URL Mappings, I give the Virtual Path/Extension = /testDB, Servlet Invoked = testDB     Thanks       Louis
