Hi :-)  from several emails in Servlet-List and this List:

* InputStream is = this.getServletContext().

getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/testApp.properties");

now testApp.properties is in myapp/WEB-INF/


*
- InputStream is =
this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("testApp.properties");
- InputStream is = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().
                            getResourceAsStream("myservlet.conf");

  now, (normally),  myservlet.conf/testApp.properties is in
myapp/WEB-INF/classes
