I’m using Tomcat 4 as my app server. It seems that I need to put my properties files in Web-Inf\Classes. How do I get myeclipse to deploy them there? I tried creating a classes folder in Web-inf but eclipse says it already exists, yet it seems hidden from the package explorer.

Thanks.

Brian,
This is a good question… you actually should put your properties files in the equivalent location under your source folder, Eclipse will then copy them into your /classes dir for you when your project is built. Some people make the mistake of putting them directly in the /classes folder… but as you will find out soon, that folder is cleaned (Erased) every time your project is built… so that’s not a good idea.

Perfect, thanks.
