The application.properties file in my web application works OKay. I have another file called storageDirectory.properties, which has one line:
outputFile = C:\\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\\webapps\\AppName\\var\\ I set my classpath to C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java One of my class in the C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java\org\OrganizationName\content directory tries to read this storageDirectory.properties file: final String PROPFILE = "storageDirectory.properties"; Properties oProp = null; FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( PROPFILE ); oProp = new Properties(); oProp.load ( fis ); I put this storageDirectory.properties in the C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java directory. I then put this storageDirectory.properties in the C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\src\java\resources directory. No matter where I put this properties file, I get this runtime error message: java.io.FileNotFoundException: storageDirectory.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) And it points to this statement: FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( PROPFILE ); _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
