Problems with file

[Anand Loni]

Hi,

I have one java file in a package which has one properties file. Now I want to access this properties file through java file. I dont want to specify location of the properties file.
When I just pass name of properties file to File then its unable to find file.
Please help me in this problem.

Regards,
Anand

You want to use one of the getResource() methods in Class or ClassLoader. From an instance method of a class, you can just say something like

Properties p = new Properties();
InputStream stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("random.properties");
if (stream != null) {
    try { 
       p.load(stream);
    } finally {
        stream.close();
    }
}
