Hello,
This is a very "newbie" question I'm sure, so this might not be the appropriate forum. Maybe it belongs in the Tomcat forum? Not sure. Pretty basic objective.... I just want to be able to put application settings (things like path names, integer values, etc) in a *.properties file and access those properties from within my tomcat/struts(1.1) application. I see quite a bit of talk about ApplicationResources.properties, but it seems like people are only using that to store and retrieve messages. I'd rather not mix my messages with my settings. How do you do it? I'm aware of the java.util.properties class.... but I don't really know how to efficiently use it within the application servlet context (I don't want to reload it with every request)..... and I wouldn't know when to load it into application scope..... anyway, you see that I don't have a clue. I can think of plenty of ways to do it, but I would like know the most common/accepted method(s). So any tips would be much appreciated :) Thanks! --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
