Hi Prakash,

If you are still looking for solution, try this
ResourceBundle.getBundle(“folder name inside jar”,locale, classloader);

My problem is the resource file is available in one context (say aa), I’m trying to load the same using ResourceBundle from another context (say bb). But always I get MissingResourceException exception. But it works well when I put the properties file under “bb” context… I think I can use the solution that you mentioned in this post for the time being. But I’m searching for a solution so that I can use ResourceBundle(since the property file is for i18n purposes). Any way thanks dude it is indeed a good post.

A very useful post indeed! Just a note on the first code snippet:

String path = System.getProperty(“catalina.base”)
+ System.getProperty(“file.seperator”)
+ “YOUR_FILE.properties”;

The System.getProperty(“file.seperator”) can be replaced with: File.separator (a convenience field in the java.io.File class)
