Hi,
you can also do something like this :
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/MyProperties.properties"));
With this syntax you just put the file in the WEB_INF/classes directory and
the ClassLoader found it there.
Regards,
Cédric
NB : this exemple comes from another mailing list "Tomcat-users"
