file path

[vinitha simon]

I have a properties file inside the following folder structure

project\folder1\file.properties

I have to load this properties file in page1.java which is in the following folder structure....

project\folder2\sub_folder1\sub_fol2\sub_fol3\sub_fol4\sub_fol5\sub_fol6\page1.java

how do I do this ?

  Properties properties;
/* ... */
  public void getPropertiesMeth() {
    Properties      defaults = new Properties();
    FileInputStream in       = null;
    setDefaults( defaults ); // See below - this loads the Properties with default values.
    properties               = new Properties( defaults );
    USER_HOME = "c:/folder1/ect/";
 
    try {
      in = new FileInputStream( USER_HOME + propertiesFilename );
      properties.load(in);  // Loads properties from file if available.
    }
    catch( java.io.FileNotFoundException e ) {
/* ... */
    }
/* ... */
  protected void setDefaults( Properties defaults ) {
    defaults.put( someStringName, someStringValue );
/* ... */
  }
