I tried to create a config.properties on my project, but I don't understand where I need to place my ReadFile class. My config.properties file is situated under resources folder, while my ReadFile class is situated under src.
public class ReadPropertyFile {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Properties prop = new Properties();
InputStream input = null;
try {
input = new FileInputStream("resources/config.properties");
// load a properties file
prop.load(input);
// get the property value and print it out
System.out.println(prop.getProperty("database"));
System.out.println(prop.getProperty("dbuser"));
System.out.println(prop.getProperty("dbpassword"));
}
catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if (input != null) {
try {
input.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
And the error is:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: resources/config.properties (No such file or directory)
