Title: RE: PROPERTY FILE LOCATION IN TOMCAT ?

OK, then, pretend I said,

 

Are you trying to access the file directly, like

    FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("MyFile.properties");

If so, try loading it with ServletContext.getResource[AsStream](); or load
it as a java.util.ResourceBundle.

Hi Bill,
No I am using java.util.Properties() as follows.
Properties prop = new Properties();
props.load(new FileInputStream(....));
In either case why is Tomcat not looking at my project directory?
Thanks

Are you trying to access the file directly, like

    FileRead in = new FileReader("MyFile.properties");

If so, try loading it with ServletContext.getResource[AsStream](); or load
it as a java.util.ResourceBundle.

Hi all,
Thanks in advance.
tomcat version - 3.2.1
OS : Windows 2000
I have created a separate project directory (not under webapps) and I have
modified the server.xml in conf directory.
<Context path="/myproj"
                 docBase="H:/myproj"
                 crossContext="true"
                 debug="0"
                 reloadable="true"
                 trusted="false" >
 </Context>
I have some servlets and everything seems to work fine except when I access
property file.
Tomcat looks for the property file under tomcat/bin directory. Why is it not
looking at my project root directory?
Is there any way to set it?
