Re: properties file again

["Lim Hock-Chai" <Lim.Hock-Chai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks James, I was hoping that we do not have to change code for this.
My project is to move our J2EE application from jBOSS to WAS6.1.  

Below are relevent code that does the setFile: 

	public static File findFile( String fileName ) {
	    File file = null;
        URL url = FileUtil.class.getClassLoader().getResource( fileName
);   
        if( url != null ) {
            String decodedUrl = null;
            try {
                decodedUrl = URLDecoder.decode( url.getPath(), "ASCII"
);
            } catch( UnsupportedEncodingException uee ) {
                uee.printStackTrace();
            }
            file = new File( decodedUrl );
        }
        return file;
	}


I'll look to see what the different between FileInputStream in
InputStream.

Thanks
