Unable to load PROPERTIES file (Eclipse)

[Nelo Angelo]

Hello everyone,

I am using the ESAPI 1.4.4 to generate page which are safe from SQL Injection. The page itself runs fine but it generates a warning when run the first time.

Attempting to load ESAPI.properties via file io.
Attempting to load ESAPI.properties via file io.
Not found in 'org.owasp.esapi.resources' directory or file not readable: C:\eclipse\ESAPI.properties
Not found in SystemResource Directory/resourceDirectory: null\ESAPI.properties
Not found in 'user.home' directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.esapi\ESAPI.properties
Loading ESAPI.properties via file io failed.
Attempting to load ESAPI.properties via the classpath.
ESAPI.properties could not be loaded by any means. fail.
The LOG-LEVEL property in the ESAPI properties file is not defined.

How do I pass the resources folder in ESAPI??

From the output, it appears the the plugin is looking for the properties file in various locations (it even tells you where it is looking!), and cannot find the file in any of those places. (Hopefully this is enough of a hint...)

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply. The problem is now resolved. I copied the ESAPI.properties and the validator files in the home directory.
