Java.io.FileNotFoundException in Bean code

Question

          My application uses a application scope bean. The bean is initialized in the function
          initialize(). The bean has a Properties member which I initialize from an INI
          file.
          The code fragment below gives the exception:
          public void initialize() throws Exception
          try
          // Read in from a configuration file
          // database attributes
          Properties configProps = new Properties();
          configProps.load(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream ("PI.ini")));
          // Create the database object
          dao = new DataAccessObject();
          dao.initialize(configProps);
          catch(Exception e)
          System.err.println(e);
          throw(e);
          Please let me know where should I place the INI file to avoid the exception.
          Thanks
          Shiva

The uri look like paths so the jsp is looking for a file at that location.

uri="URIForLibrary"
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that uniquely locates the TLD that describes the set of custom tags associated with the named tag prefix. A URI can be any of the following:
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), as defined in RFC 2396, available at http://www.hut.fi/u/jkorpela/rfc/2396/full.html
A Uniform Resource Name (URN), as defined in RFC 2396
An absolute or relative pathname
If the URI is a URL or URN, then the TLD is located by consulting the mapping indicated in web.xml extended using the implicit maps in the packaged tag libraries. If URI is pathname, it is interpreted relative to the root of the web application and should resolve to a TLD file directly, or to a JAR file that has a TLD file at location META-INF/taglib.tld.
