Springs Application context

[sudharshan tettu]

Hi
When starting up tomcat server , am getting the below exception
and here is my content in applicationContext.xml

<util:properties id="propertyFromOrder" location="file:orderCommon.properties"/>

Exception

ERROR context.ContextLoader: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'propertyFromOrder': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: orderCommon.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
at org.springframework.bean

Any idea where should i place the orderCommon.properties file

Edited to disable smilies.

You need to place the properties file in the WEB-INF/classes folder. And you may want to change the tag to

<util:properties id="propertyFromOrder" location="classpath:orderCommon.properties"/>
