Hi,

Hope you would have got the solution by now.

here is a code snippet which can be used for reading properties file in a web application.

package org.mywebapp;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Properties;

/**
 * Simple class meant to read a properties file
 * 
 * @author Rohit Chavan
 * 
 */
public class PropertiesReader {

    /**
     * Default Constructor
     * 
     */
    public PropertiesReader() {

    }

    /**
     * Method to read the properties file
     * 
     * @throws IOException
     * 
     */
    public void readPropertiesFile() throws IOException {

        // Get the inputStream

        InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader()
                .getResourceAsStream("ApplicationResource.properties");

        Properties properties = new Properties();

        System.out.println("InputStream is: " + inputStream);

        // load the inputStream using the Properties

        properties.load(inputStream);

        // get the value of the property

        String propValue = properties.getProperty("abc");

        System.out.println("Property value is: " + propValue);
    }

}
