Question

I have to read properties file “MyProperty.properties” from “ReadProp.java” class given my the following directory structure of my “war” file I am going to deploy.

MyApp.war
|
----MyProps
|       |--MyProperty.properties
|---WEB-INF
|        |--classes
|             |---ReadProp.java

I am going to deploy this “war” file in “Sun portal server”.
But I should not change any of this directory structure because of the requirement specification.

what is the best way to read the property file “MyProperty.properties”
from “ReadProp.java” class ?

Got Answer

 String path = servletContext.getRealPath("/MyProps/MyProperty.properties");
        System.out.println("path: " + path);

        Properties prop = new Properties();
        try {
            prop.load(new FileInputStream(path));
        } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
        }
        String name= prop.getProperty("name");
