Hi To access the propery file change the ant script to include that file in WEB-INF/ folder and add in the war. If you are using some frameworks like struts or spring its pretty easy to load property files. For struts you can refer to the example like how they load application message properties. For Spring i am giving you sample code below if property file is like jdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/test jdbc.user=postgres jdbc.password= And your bean configuration will look like this: /WEB-INF/jdbc.properties ${jdbc.driver} ${jdbc.url} ${jdbc.user} ${jdbc.password} View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3986308#...
