I’ve put a context.properties file in a jar and included it in my project. In execution the following line returns null. What should I do to correct this?

InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(“/context.properties”);

Make sure the context.properties file isn’t in a subdirectory in the jar (like a package). To reference it like that it must be at the root level.

Currently I see context.jar-C:\quoteAvaya\quoting\config\dev in package explorer, does it mean I have the file in a subdirectory?

How do I create a jar with the file not in a subdirectory in the workbench?

Through some debugging I’ve found out that the file can be read if the class is executed as a Java application but once I deploy the project on Tomcat as a web application and try to access it via a browser an error occurs at the attempt to read the file. Any ideas?

Thanks.
