getResource can't find file???

[Todd]

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

I have a .war file with the structure:

/WEB-INF
|
+-- classes
|
+ --- package name folder
| |
| + -- myClass.class
|
+ --- myProperties.properties

When I do a myClass.getResource("myProperties.properties") it is not
being found. I thought everything under the WEB-INF is on the
classpath, so I can't understand why. Can someone help?

TIA

/WEB-INF
|
+-- classes ....
+ --- myProperties.properties

When I do a myClass.getResource("myProperties.properties")

Try..

myClass.getResource("/myProperties.properties")

Read the javadoc for java.lang.Class.getResource() carefully, especially
the second paragraph, especially the part about the package name.

getResource is just a thing to generate you an URL to the resource.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/images.html

for the many ways to get an image.

Once you understand that, you should be able to solve your problem.

You have to make sure your resource is where you think it is under the
correct membername.


Try signing your applet. The problem may be the resource is not
"downstream" of the web page.

Once again, it is not necessary to sign an applet to access resources
that are "downstream", as you say.
