Hi,
WEB-INF is the private folder in your tomcat..
you need to place the properties file in the classes folder ie
WEB-INF/classes/

[srikanth singamsetty]

You can read the properties file by the help of ResorseBuldle
which is existed in the java.util package
sample code to read the properties file
java.util.ResourceBundle resBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("PropertiesFilename");

/*
* please save the properties file with .propeties extension and place it in the WEB-INF/classes folder
*/
resBundle.getString("keyhere");

Hi
I tried using ResourceBundle.i have placed .properties file in web-inf/classes folder, and the following code i have written to get property value.
java.util.ResourceBundle resBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("application.properties");
String jndi_name=resBundle.getString("jndiname");

its throwing following exception.
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name application.properties

Thanks
Suresh

Try only application without properties extension

  
ResourceBundle.getBundle("application");
