Problem with reading config file

Question

Hello,
I have problem with reading config file from the same dir as class is. Situation is:
I have servlet which working with DB, and in confing file (config.pirms) are all info about connection (drivers, users, passw, etc.). Everything work fine if I hardcoded like:
configFileName = "C:\\config.pirms";I need to avoid such hardcoding, I tryied to use:
configFileName = Pirms.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream ("/prj/config.pirms").toString();but it isn't work.
My config file is in the same directory as Pirms.class (C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\prj)
Also I tryied BundledResources, it isn't work fo me also.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem? with any examples or other stuff?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I am getting error that "non-static method getServletConfig() cannot be referenced from a static context"
Maybe is it possibility to use <init-param> into web.xml file like:
<init-param>
  <param-name>configFile</param-name>
  <param-value>/prj/config.pirms</param-value>
</init-param>If yes can anybody explain how to do that?
I need to have that file for:
FileReader readFile = new FileReader(configFile);Thanks in advance.
