Custom properties files in enterprise project

Question

Hi,
I created a enterprise application containing 3 projects:
- EAR project
- EJB project
- Web project
And I added a properties file in :
-EAR project/EarContent/APP-INF/afile.properties
The content of this file is :
Host=<path to host>
Port=389
And I have a .jar file that uses this properties file that is located in :
-EAR project/EarContent/APP-INF/lib/afile.jar
Then I add .jar file, through EAR project --> Right click --> Properties --> Deployment Assembly --> Add --> Archives from workspace
It is then shown under EAR porject - Deployment Descriptor - Bundled Libraries - Library Directory
When running the application, the JAR file executes as it should, but it cant find the properties file.
In the .jar file I have a java file that locates the properties file and elements like this :
private static final String BROKER_PROPERTY_NAME = "afile";
brokerResources = PropertyResourceBundle.getBundle(BROKER_PROPERTY_NAME);
String host = brokerResources.getString("host");
int port = Integer.parseInt(brokerResources.getString("port"));
Anyone know where to put the properties file to be able to get this to work?

Hi, thanks, it works :)
After Clean, and Publish, and restart , remove, add it runs :)
Is the Classes directory available when deploying to an production environment? So that I can change the content without the need for å redeployment?
I could figure out where Weblogic stores deploymentfiles in my domain, EAR, WAR, EJB files, and lib and classes dir.
