loading properties file in init() of servlet without using context-param tag in web.xml [duplicate]

Answer 1

Problem is not with init param setting. Problem is how you are accessing the file. Make sure you have a config file in your class path, e.g. under Web-Inf directory; then change your code to access file like

InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(fileName);        
p = new Properties();                                       
p.load(is);
