Rajendran,
If you have already managed to read in the properties file using the
java.util.Properties class, be aware that this is already a Hashtable
(Properties inherits from Hashtable), albeit it must contain only strings as
the value corresponding to any key.
In order to read in a properties file,
first, read the JavaDocs for ServletContext.getResource &
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream methods:
<http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResource(java.lang.String)>
<http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)>
Once you understand how to do this, you simply create a new Properties
object, and instruct it to load the Properties file
from the given InputStream generated by getResourceAsStream. Something to
the effect of:
<CODE>
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(...));
</CODE>
That should be all there is to it....
