Can't read the content of a property file by using the relative path

My java class is residing in the folder /webserver/tomcat-instance/webapps/shop/WEB-INF/classes/com/mobile/commons but the actual property file is residing in the location /webserver/tomcat-instance/webapps/shop/WEB-INF/classes/resources directory. Now in my java file i put the relative path as /WEB-INF/classes/resources/prop.properties to read the intended file but every time i'm getting the FileNotFound Exception.

Please help me resolving this issue. What should i use as a relative path as i don't want to use the absolute path.

Thanks, Sourav

Try reading it with

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("resources/prop.properties");

Update:

URL resource = classLoader.getResource("resources/prop.properties");
File file = new File(resource.toURI());
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(file);

it's better to use

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("resources/prop.properties")
