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

Answer 1

I don't know how you set your web.xml, it should be ok as this:

    MyServletName
    com.mycompany.MyServlet

    
         param1 
         value1 
    
    
         param2 
         value2 
    
    ...

and as in your code, you didn't use absolute path, so this file will be found in classes directory, you should make sure this file exist in WEB-INF/classes dir.
