Hello,
1) Make sure that the file really exists.
2) If it exists then, make sure that you got read permission to read the file, as the PropertyConfigurator() will make the FileInputStream to the corresponding file directly.
3) If you have right access then , write a simple
jsp page, to find path of the file.
4) Even it does not work, then use ClassLoader directly to load the .property file and call Propertyconfigurator() to read the stystem resource.
double check whether you got .properties file in your classes folder.
