title: Reading properties file under WEB-INF
body: <p>I have a webapplication on Java spring. I need to read application specific settings when the application will be initialized. I have added <code>app.properties</code> under <code>WebContent/WEB-INF</code> but I am not able to get that file from the class. 
  If I provide 
      <code>InputStream  input = servletContext.getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/spring.properties");
      prop.load(input);</code></p>
  
  <p>then it is showing file is not present. I can not use absolute path. What will be the path?</p>
