Property file usage help please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Question

hi there
i need some help on using property file, please. i have a package that contains many directories and classes. in one the directory, there is a property file: properties. and some of the classes need to access information in the file. how can i use ResourceBundle or Property objects to read the file? this is my guessing :
//code....................................
ResourceBundle.getBundle("D:\\tomc\\wowExchangeProject\\soaptest\\src\\com\\wowgao\\uddi\\db\\properties.properties").getString("implementation");
and:
//code....................................
File f=new File( configFile );
if( f.exists()) {
Properties props=new Properties();
props.load( new FileInputStream(f));
DBClassName = props.getProperty("implementation");
i must use absolute path for the file. what if i need to distribute the package on other machine that does not have D drive. how can change it so that i can deploy it on any machine? thanks

Let�s say you have the following structure:
- com/props/props.properties
You can use any class inside the classloader that loaded this package to do the following:
InputStrean in = <classname>.class.getResourceAsStream("/com/props/props.properties");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(in);
Hope this can help you. Any doubts just ask!
