How to Load a Properties File from JAR File at runtime

[hallian92]

HI,
How can we load a properties file from a jar file at runtime. Have a Properties file that's in a jar file when the application starts wants to read the values in the properties file. How can we do this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

To load resources from a jar file, use the getResource method of the Class class. if u call ur class as myclass, then

URL url = myclass.class.getResource("file.properties"

then pass this url to ur FileInputStream or whatever to open it.
