How to use property files as resources

Asked by apollonius_tyana in Open Source Programming, J2EE, Java Standard Edition

Tags: java

I've got an application where I need to store some config parameters. Property files make perfect sense for my case. But I don't want to access files directly because there's a good chance that the app will be used in a web or JavaEE environment where I'll not have direct file access.

I've been ripping my hair off for hours but I always get resource not found errors. I'm using Netbeans 6.1 and I'm sure the properties file get packaged in the jar file.

My code is below. I've got a config.properties in the same src directory with my class and it gets packaged in the jar.

Looking forward to responses. I think I've got so blind not to see the obvious.

Thanks.Start Free Trial

        URL resURL =  MyClass.class.getClassLoader().getResource("config.properties");
        System.out.println(resURL);
    }
