How to Load Properties File?

[RigasMinho]

Is there a tutorial on how to load a properties file in JSP?

I've spent like 2 days on this and I cant even figure out how load the
stupid file using JSP.

Can you load it in core Java?

Files are not stupid, ...

...file using JSP.

...and yet you could wait no more than 6 hours before
reposting your ..question.

Please refrain from doing that* in future.

Well you obviously did not read the Javdocs for the class Properties very
carefully then. Otherwise you had noticed:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)

If you wonder how to create an InputStream I recommend the Javadocs for that:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html

Which will lead you (after some clever thinking) to:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FileInputStream.html

Then you are all set.

If you still don't know how to load them, I recommend the tutorial at Sun's website:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/TOC.html
especially:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html
and
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/environment/properties.html
