If you're using the ClassLoader to locate your properties files, then the properties files need to be within your classpath. For WARs, the only places that you really have much control over is the 'classes' directory.
The other issue is that your can not assume that you will be able to write to you properties files.

If I understand you correctly, the properties file CANNOT be in the war file, it needs to be external. Right.

Depends upon what you want to do with the properties files and how you access them. Some ways of accessing them require that the name to access be relative to the classpath, others don't. You are better off to learn about properties files in this instance. There is nothing peculiar to the web-structure that I know of that is important about locating properties files.

And if you have a .war file? Then where would you put your properties files?

Thats right.
If you don't have a .war file, you can use the classes dir inside your WEB-INF dir, and create a new directory like "conf", the put inside all the properties files. In that way the ClassLoader looks for the files in there when you use something like this:
try { Properties props = new Properties(); InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/conf/db.properties"); props.load(in); ......
propertie1 = props.getProperty("propertie1");

From: <echa...@TXU.COM> Subject: Loading Properties Files
My problem is that the class cannot location my properties file. I am unable to use other suggested methods that I have noticed on this list since those problems involved Properties File within Servlets.
After some testing, I determined for some reason the default directory it is looking for my properties file is the Windows System Directory
(Determined this
by
opening a file in the default directory, outputing something in it and searching for the file).
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? I do not want to hard code the exact location due to obvious reasons
The problem is that you appear to be loading a file with an absolute path, versus the common form of load a properties file via the ClassLoader.
Fumble about with the ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream to have it hunt down your properties file, and then feed that stream to your Properties.
public static yourMethod() { ClassLoader cl = YourClass.class.getClassLoader(); Properties prop = new Properties(); prop.load(cl.getResourceAsStream("yours.properties")); }
Then, just drop your properties at the right place in your WARs classes area.
