I'm sorry, I'm still struggling with this. I've changed my
service class to extend AxisServlet and can do the getResourceAsStream, but
it always appears to return a null pointer. I've tried putting my
properties file in the JAR, and the whole Tomcat tree is positively
littered with copies (to see if the method was looking in some other
directory).
What I really would like to do is distribute my classes
in a JAR and have the properties file be somewhere else, hopefully
relative to the JAR file. Here's my class constructor:
public NCNWebSvc() throws CFException {
try {
Properties P = new Properties();
InputStream Str =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("NCNWebSvc.properties");
P.load(Str);
passphrase = P.getProperty("Passphrase");
hostname = P.getProperty("Hostname");
portnum = P.getProperty("Portnum");
}
catch (Exception ex) {
throw new CFException("Error reading properties file: " +
ex.getMessage());
}
}
I always get this back: Error reading properties file: null
