Hi all,
Trying to read a properties file for my web app....I have a singleton class that reads
my properties file and sets my properties the first time the class is called......It
reads the file fine, but after the singleton gets loaded and i go to a jsp page that
hasnt' been compiled yet i recieve this error....(at the bottom).....here's how i'm
reading the propeties file...........the error is really wierd...when tomcat spits out
the error, usually there's a carriage return after each exception that is
thrown.....but thats not the case.......wierdness.......does anyone have any insight
to my situation, I'm especially interested in how to read a properties file
correctly....my properties file is located in the "classes" directory (is this a good
idea?) and my webapp gets deployed as a .war file.......
InitProps.java

System.out.println("#################### Server Initilization

Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream in =
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("application.properties");
props.load(in);
System.setProperties(props);
in.close();
System.out.println("############################# Done
##############################");
