Subject: RE: Help with properties file locations
Hi,
Use something like the following:
InputStream inputStream =
MessageDb.class.getResourceAsStream("/MessageDb.properties");
And put MessageDb.properties under classes, assuming that
your class file is in com/mysite/support/MessageDb.class.
The idea is that the resource file is looked up under the same
CLASSPATH component under which your class file was found.
The WEB-INF/classes directory is automatically added to the
classpath for the "current" web application.
Hope this helps,
--Amos
