Accessing .properties file from within Java code

Hi,
I have some constant data that I store in a .properties file. From within my java program that is executing in a workflow, I like to access these properties.

Here's what I did, but it seems like it is not picking up the location of the properties file. I put the .properties file in the same place the .java files were in customer_src.

prop.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream(Workflow.properties));

Where should Workflow.properties be placed in the iw-home/httpd folder. Does the web toolkit take care of this automatically for you?

Let me know,

Anna

You need to put your "class" files in customer_src/src. Make sure if they use a package structure that you recreate those folders for the package.

Run make_toolkit.ipl after putting your files in the above location.

Here's a good thread to read.

Thanks for your reply.
The issue was that I had the properties filename wrong so it didin't catch it.

Thanks,
Anna.
