- Use a
ResourceBundle
. See the Java docs for the specifics of how theResourceBundle
class works. Using this method, the properties file must go into theWEB-INF/classes
directory or in a jar file contained in theWEB-INF/lib
directory. - Another way is to use the method
getResourceAsStream()
from theServletContext
class. This allows you update the file without having to reload the webapp as required by the first method. Here is an example code snippet, without any error trapping:No Format // Assuming you are in a Servlet extending HttpServlet // This will look for a file called "/more/cowbell.properties" relative // to your servlet Root Context InputStream is = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/more/cowbell.properties"); Properties p = new Properties(); p.load(is); is.close();
How do I log requests ?
See AccessLogValve
Can I set Java system properties differently for each webapp?
