  • 0

I am using eclipse Indigo IDE ..I am developing a jsp application (myProject) using eclipse in which i have a property file (myProject\webcontent\db.properties) for configuring database credentials.

I am trying to access this file from a class (myProject\src\samplePackage\sampleDBConnect.java). I have exported samplePackage.jar into *myProject\webContent\WEB-INF\lib*.

I have a Test.jsp page which calls a method in sampleDBConnect.java.

When i am trying to run this Test.jsp page, the current directory path shows C:\Documents and Settings\username. I have my project in some other drive(E:).

Can someone tell me how to access the properties file….

    getClass().getResourceAsStream("db.properties");

    This assumes your db.properties is in the same directory “samplePackage”.

    If you want to keep it in src directory or say resource directory then use 

    getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("db.properties");

    Since your java code belongs to the same web project you don’t have to create a jar of the same project and place that in the WEB-INF/lib folder
