Hi Mehdi,
I have my properties file in /WEB-INF. Eclipse doesn't delete it
there. I access it with
InputStream propsIn = servletContext.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-
INF/dms.properties");
props.load(propsIn);
As far as I know this also works when the web-app ist deployed
as a war without expansion.
Hope that helps.
