resources location in developement environment?

[ankur rathi]

Where should I place resources (xml files/properties files etc) in developement environment?

In production environment, they should go in *application*-> WEB-INF-> classes. Right?

Thanks.

You can put them anywhere you want, as long as you make sure they go to the place you need them to be when you build your deployable web application.

Some tools or IDEs will force you to use a certain directory layout for your source files, others don't.

Yes, Actually we don't even need to place them in developement environment, if we can directly place them in production environment at right place, because they are being used only at the time execution.

Right?

Have a look at
java.lang.String)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ServletContext.getResourceAsStream

It can be used to get resources relative to the root of the application.
