MainFolder | Com.test.loadresource.file.java | resources | Resource file name Class file{ private static void loadConfiguration() { bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle( "resources/properties_file_name.properties", Locale.ENGLISH); } public static String getValue(String param_s_key) { if (param_s_key == null || param_s_key.trim().length() <= 0) return null; return bundle.getString(param_s_key.trim()); } public static void main(String arg[]){ System.out.println(getValue("0001")); } } Regards Raghavendra.E -------------------------- Programmer Analyst StinGray Technologies PVT LTD.

I believe if you try to access from main it is not possible to access the file without giving the absolute path. However, if you try to access it from a servlet you can use getServletContext().getRealPath( "/WEB-INF/classes/myMessegeResources.properties").
