This works: | Properties defaultProperties = new Properties(); | try { | defaultProperties.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/default.runtime.properties")); | } catch (IOException e) { | log.error("Unable to open default properties file: " + e.getMessage()); | } catch (NullPointerException npe) { | log.error("Unable to locate default properties file"); | } | Properties runtimeProperties = new Properties(defaultProperties); | try { | runtimeProperties.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/runtime.properties")); | } catch (IOException ioe) { | log.error("Unable to open runtime properties file, using defaults: " + ioe.getMessage()); | } catch (NullPointerException npe) { | log.error("Unable to locate runtime properties file, using defaults"); | } | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4060615#...
