I need to connect to a database I have specified the driver class and url in a .properties file, I have placed this .properties file in the classes folder of WEB-INF
once I create the war file and sent it to the client, They need to change the url but since we are delivering a war file they cannot do it. How can i achieve this?

Dont put it in your war file. Maintain a seperate folder where all the apps properties files will be available. If it is too late to do that you could write a program that programatically opens the war file, and replaces the properties file with the URL that the client wants. They could run it from a java program like so...
java com.RestoreProperties c:\java\warFile.war myURL
I think you should be able to open the war file using the JarFile class
