Thats right.
If you don't have a .war file, you can use the classes dir inside your WEB-INF
dir, and create a new directory like "conf", the put inside all the properties
files. In that way the ClassLoader looks for the files in there when you use
something like this:
try {
Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/conf/db.properties");
props.load(in);
......
propertie1 = props.getProperty("propertie1");
