What is interesting is that if I move the properties files out of the
/WEB-INF/classes directory and into another separate directory that is
explicitly set in my classpath, then it works. But I know that the /WEB-INF
directory is working (i.e. it is a context for "/") because my web.xml
settings are working fine.
Best regards,
Richard
