JBossProperties

Read a properties file from a class deployed in Jboss?

   1. Properties properties=new Properties(); 
  2. properties.load(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("app.properties").openStream());  

How do I load a properties file from WEB-INF/classes?
For files directly in the classes directory, our code is like:

        Properties dbProps = new Properties();

 //The forward slash "/" in front of in_filename will ensure that
 //no package names are prepended to the filename when the Classloader
 //search for the file in the classpath
 InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/"+in_filename);
 if(null == is)
 {
     throw new ConfigException("Can't locate file:" +in_filename);
 }
 try
 {
     dbProps.load(is);//this may throw IOException
     return dbProps;
 }
 catch (IOException ioe)
 {
     System.err.println("Properties loading failed in AppConfig");
     throw new ConfigException(ioe,"Can't locate file:" +in_filename);
 }
