Below is the piece of code
Properties prop = new Properties();
Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread();
ClassLoader contextClassLoader = currentThread.getContextClassLoader();
InputStream propFile = contextClassLoader.getResourceAsStream("db.properties");
prop.load(propFile);
System.out.println("Properties file loaded!!");
propFile.close();
Folder Structure of the project
Below is the result of classloader:
ParallelWebappClassLoader
context: Dashboard
delegate: false
----------> Parent Classloader:
java.net.URLClassLoader@675d3402
I did search on almost every page for the fix but still not luck. That is why i had to post it as new question. Kindly excuse if any grammatical error. And thank you for the help.
rieckpil :
Put the db.properties file in the src/main/resources folder and then you should be able to access it
