It is a how-to on loading properties from the classpath using classloaders. Tim -----Original Message----- From: Rahul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2006 3:42 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: JSP on Tomcat: application scope variable Thanks. I used a singleton class and initialized it from an impl of ServletContextListener. If I place a properties file in WEB-INF/classes of my webapp, I am unable to read it from my class: FileNotFoundException. (Absolute path works fine though.) I have: //properties file in classes myProps.load(new FileInputStream("test.properties")); or //properties file in classes/com/example/test myProps.load(new FileInputStream("com/example/test/test.properties")); Is this not the correct way to specify the path?
