properties file in web app

Question

First, there are a lot of solutions out there and I have already read a lot of them. But for some reason I don\'t get it working.

I am trying to outsource my config

Answer 1

Take out from META-INF , put it in src/config direct to config package in source , upon build it will go to /WEB-INF/classes/config/config.properties

and this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config/config.properties");

Update

and then I created a Service Class in the same project which has a method.

public static InputStream getConfigAsInputStream(){
    return Service.class.getResourceAsStream("/config/config.properties");
}

This works..!!
