Re: setting the classpath variable

[randie ursal]

i tried it..but it still doesn't work.
it only works if i put it on the WEB-INF/classes directory.

what's the reason behind this?

also, if im going to read from a file using the File class in java, how
do i specify the correct path? do i have to place the file also on the
WEB-INF/classes directory?

why is it tomcat could not locate the property file if i place it on the
package directory structure of my servlets?...it is still on the WEB-INF/classes
directory isnt it? just need some more clarifications.

e.g  WEB-INF/classess/com/test/MyProperty.properties

thanks

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.
