how do i specify my property file?

[Ravee Bhat]

Hi All
I am using a Oracle 9iAS Rel 2 on a windows box. My web application needs couple of property files when it starts up. What configuration is required for 9iAS to read property files?

thanks in advance

Ravee,
You can reference the property files as init parameters in the web.xml.

thanks Jeanne, shall try that.
In the meantime I did a lil experiment with the classpath in the website properties of my application in my OC4J instance. Added d:\propDir to the classpath and put my property file in that directory. And when print 'System.getProperties()' i can see all the properties from my property file loaded into this. Is this the way it works?

Another query is , if I put the property file in my WEB-INF/classes directory , in my opinion I should be able to say ClassLoader.getSystemResource(...) load that resource (my property file) from the classpath? Is this correct?

thanks again,
