We have installed our
J2EE enterprise application on WAS 5 recently. While reading form a property file, I always get a Null Pointer exception.
The property file is defientely there in the proper path and with proper permissions.
(The same code works fine in WebSphere 4.0.6 environment).
This is the error I am getting on WebSphere 5 server:

Are there any changes in handiling the property files in WAS-5 ?
Can any one please help ?
