I'm trying to read a properties file within a web-app under JBoss. Thesetup follows:Location of properties file in war file is:WEB-INF/classes// code to load properties file is:ResourceBundle props =ResourceBundle.getBundle("idmwswrapper.properties",Locale.getDefault(), this.getClass().getClassLoader());ERROR READING PROPERTIES FILE.... Can't find bundle for base nameidmwswrapper.properties, locale en_US2007-08-03 14:52:08,734 INFO  [STDOUT]java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base nameidmwswrapper.properties, locale en_USAnyone have any ideas? I've tried other methods of reading the file,but it cannot be 'found'. Doc sayprops file must be in classpath. WEB-INF/classes is in the classpath.Any help greatly appreciated!

WEB-INF/classes is in the classpath.I don't know about JBoss particularly, but generally there are two roads:Use the ServletContext:<http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getResource(java.lang.String)><http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)>ServletContext.getResourceAsStream( String path )> The path must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root.Typically you'd gather a resource from a resources subdirectory of the webapp or of the WEB-INF/:   context.getResourceAsStream( "resources/my.properties" )The other way is to use a ClassLoader, either directly or through the corresponding Class methods:<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html#getResource(java.lang.String)><http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)>These methods search the class path, not the web app context, so instead of starting at, for example:   http://your.host:8080/webapp/it starts looking at the application's WEB-INF/classes subdirectory and other classpath locations.For web apps the ServletContext version would probably work better.-- Lew
