title: Where to place and how to read configuration resource files in servlet based application?
body: <p>In my web application I have to send email to set of predefined users like <code>finance@xyz.example</code>, so I wish to add that to a <code>.properties</code> file and access it when required. Is this a correct procedure, if so then where should I place this file? I am using Netbeans IDE which is having two separate folders for source and JSP files.</p>
