在Web应用程序中找不到属性文件的路径？

Question

My Property file location is WebRoot/WEB-INF/Test/property files/Question.properties

Now I want to load the property file using FileInputStream. So I wrote the below code.

Properties pr = new Properties();
pr.load(new FileInputStream("WebRoot/WEB-INF/Test/property files/Question.properties"));

By the above code I got java.io.FileNotFoundException .I am using myeclipse for my development. Can any one suggest the path to read my properties.

Answer 1

You are opening it relative to the current directory. Do you know what the current directory is? Try creating a:

File f = new File("WebRoot/WEB-INF/Test/property files/Question.properties");

Then printing or debug the absolute path of the File object. This will tell you what file you are actually trying to open (ie full path).

However, if you are trying to open a 'resource' bundled with your web app (as suggested by /WEB-INF/ being in the path) this is probably not a good way to do it. One alternative is to build your 'resource' into one of your application's .jar files.

Answer 2

use the method InputStream java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream(String name) instead, this will work when you run your class within eclipse and outside eclipse. and use the same path as what you have mentioned in your code and append "/" at the front. Hope this helps !

Answer 3

Do one thing right click on Question.properties file click on the properties get the Location of the file.

 Properties pr = new Properties();
 pr.load(new FileInputStream("Location of the file"));
