使用getResourceAsStream空读取配置文件

Question

I have a class that reads a config file from the project root but it is not finding the file.

My read class is in com.br.xxx.util package

        String filename = "config.properties";
        input = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);

This code returns null even though "config.properties" is in my project root. What am I doing wrong?

If I use:

InputStream input = new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\xxxx\\git\\projectfolder\\project\\config.properties");
configFile.load(input);

It works, but I don't want to use a system path.

config.properties must be in your classpath . when you deploy your project on tomcat, by default WEB-IN/classes is in classpath . Simplest solution is to move config.properties to WEB-IN/classes .
