Re: placing the properties file in tomcat

[Poorav Chaudhari <pooravc@yahoo.com>]

I have a feeling i am missing the jist of how to use properties. I read the
short tutorial on using properties to manage program attributes. but in that it
is explained with the use of a standalone application. The use and
implementation of properties in a servlet environment seems to be a completely
different ball game. my application is specifically in struts framework. now
the properties that i define in the properties file, will be used through out
the application. can i find some sort of discussion on this online? something
that will help me clarify this confusion? Thanks.
