Load properties file in Servlet/JSP [duplicate]

Answer 1

it may not work If you are try to load the properties from jsp/servlet. Write a utility class to read properties and package along with jar file. copy the properties file into same package as of utility.

 Class Utility{
    Properties properties=null;
    public void load() throws IOException{
        properties.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream("sample.properties"));
    }
    public Object get(String key) throws IOException{
        if (properties==null){
            load();
        }
        return properties.get(key); 
    }
  }

Now use this utility class from servlet to read the property values. May be you can define the class as singleton for better practice
