I placed an properties file in the PROFILE_ROOT/properties folder of the WAS server. But when the application searches for the file I get a FileNotFound Exception. On the other hand, it is able to search for an existing properties file. Should anything be changed in the server once a property file has been added.
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(new FileInputStream(new File("C:\\websphere\\appserver\\profiles\\appsrv01\\properties\\example.properties")));
System.out.println(properties.getProperty("en"));
