JDeveloper: unable to locate properties file

Question

Hello Experts,
I'm working with JDeveloper11R1, and I need to load some information from a properties file.
I copied the file config.properties both on the WEB-INF directory and in the com/project/ directory, but when trying to load with a class positioned also in the com/project directory..
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        try {
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("config.properties"));
OR
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("/config.properties"));
OR
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("/com/project/config.properties"));
OR
            prop.load(new FileInputStream("/WEB-INF/config.properties"));I all the above situations I get the file not found error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /com/project/config.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66)
     at com.project.Loader.<init>(Loader.java:35)
     at com.project.Loader.main(Loader.java:133)
Process exited with exit code 0.
I guess that I should configure the Classpath in JDeveloper, but also loading the Directory from "Project Properties - Library/Classpath" it doesn't work.
Could you please help?
Thank you

Hi Leyla,
Try using ResourceBundle instead of Properties:
ResourceBundle rb;
try {
  rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com/project/config");
  ...This should work if your config.properties file is in com/project/ directory.
