Reading properties file from WEB-INF/classes

[Dundonald]

Properties file stored in WEB-INF/classes.

There are numerous ways to read properties files, but I'd like to know
what your opinions are on the best way to read from the WEB-INF/
classes directory given that I could deploy my war file to any server
on any platform not knowing how a server is configured, i.e. with its
real paths etc.

classes.
