The webapp consist of a servlet that uses another class.

In that class i want to access a configuration file.

Which is the best way?

Answer 1

you can put a properties file under your WEB-INF/classes directory. in that way it wil be visible on the classpath, then in your java class you can use :

 InputStream is = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("your_file.properties");
