How to add Java .properties files to Apache Tomcat 4.0 Windows 2K environment

[milesd]

Hi, I have a number of Java "???.???.??.???.properties" files which I
would like Apache Tomcat 4.0 to "pick up" in it's environment.

I have a JSP page which has the following exception:
----
no.fast.ds.content.ContentManagerFactoryException: Failed to
instantiate class no.fast.ds.content.corba.ContentManagerFactory:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
----


I am fairly sure that the "not picking up of properties files" are
causing this (unless someone know different).

I have tried copying the properties files to a number of directories
(including Apache Tomcat 4.0\conf\ntiis, and Apache Tomcat
4.0\webapps\webdav\WEB-INF\classes) - but with no success

I have been unable to locate httpd.conf in the Windows Tomcat install
(I have specified properties here when using Apache).

Can someone provide me with some tips on how to resolve this issue.


thanks

Miles.

normally you define it in web.xml like such:
<servlet>
....
<init-param>
<param-name>log4j-init-file</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
....
</servlet>

and in your servlet calls:
String mypropertyfile = getInitParameter("log4j-init-file");
