This only works if the app is run from an unpacked directory, which is not
guaranteed to be portable (not every server supports running this way).
The best way to read a properties file is to put it in the WEB-INF
subdirectory and use something like:
Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream stream =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/myprops.properties");
props.load(stream);
stream.close();
which is guaranteed to be portable to any server.
