can jsp access .jar files?

I have a properties file in JAR file.

In my web application, I want to access this properties file from the jsp within web application.

I try doing it with the following code, but results in FileNotFoundException

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(new FileInputStream("myfile.properties"));

How can i access the file from JAR which is in my classpath within scriptlets in jsp?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can using

InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("//myfile.properties");

Make sure your jar file which has this property file is in classpath.

Not this way. You can try to get the Input Stream by using 'getResourceAsStream' functionality.
