I tried to create an Util class for controller classes calls. One thing gets me stuck for a bit while: in Util class,

there is a string variavle as

public static final String info = "/WEB-INF/classes/abc.properties";

There is a parser to get it:

String test = IOUtils.toString(config.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(info));

// I have got the null value from this one but cannot get the why.

My question: I set the path for WEB with '/', but still the servlet still did not get it. Your any hints will be greatly appreciated.

The classpath is what is inside `/classes`, not `/WEB-INF`. – Sotirios Delimanolis Sep 17 '15 at 15:06
Have you tried to open the .war file (e.g. using WinZip) to see if the file is actually there? – Andreas Sep 17 '15 at 15:22
To Stotitrios, thank you for the hint. I will try this. But why /WEB-INF does not work? – user3144042 Sep 20 '15 at 11:37
To Andreas, I have not tried to check with your approach. I will be trying. Thank you. – user3144042 Sep 20 '15 at 11:38
