That might work in most cases, but it won't find the file in a container
that doesn't expand the .war archive. The following will read it whether
in a directory structure or in a .war archive:
InputStream is =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/myApp.properties");
If the file exists in the same package as the class, you can load it like this:
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("myApp.properties");
I would think you could also do this to find it in the classes directory:
InputStream is =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("myApp.properties");
All those methods are independent of the filesystem.
