Reading properits file from an ejb

[anuja Edathu]

Hai all,
I am trying to read a properties file say xx.properties from an ejb ReadBean.
i packaged the properties file in to the jar. But when i tried to execute, an exception is being caught (exceptionjava.io.FileNotFoundException:xx.properties.


Properties properties = new Properties();
try {
properties.load(new FileInputStream("xx.properties"));
System.out.println(properties.getProperty("asd"));
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("exception"+ e);
}
Can any one help me out! If i have to change the path of properties file where i have to put it?

Thanks & Regards
Anuja K.

I normally recommend creating a ResourceBundle from a properties file. However, if you wish to use the Properties class, try the following code which calls the class loader to find the file and return an input stream.

properties.load(MyApp.class.getResourceAsStream("xx.properties"));
