We have adopted the use of ResourceBundles to load properties files found in
the classpath. We create a specific directory just to hold servlet startup
files.
Include this specific directory in the classpath for your servlet engine.
Pass the name of the properties file to the servlet as an initialization
parameter. If your props file is named 'servlet1.properties' just pass
'servlet1' to the servlet startup parameters.
In the servlet init method you can use the ResourceBundle to load your
properties file and you are good to go.
