Problem Reading Property files in tomcat-----Help me please

Hi All

I am planning to migrate my web application from iplanet 4.1 to tomcat 6. In this process I need to read the properties files initially.

for eg: i got the property files in a iPlanet:
Config directory---
abc.properties.---
abc.log--

In tomcat I configured them in web.xml saying that.


<servlet>
<servlet-name>ABC</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.ijk.abc</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>Loan</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>loan.props</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config/abc.props</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>loan.log</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config/abc.log</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ABC</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


I need to read initially all the property files and then proceed.
While configuring in this way, it am getting error saying that
abc.props or abc.log..............(FILE NOT FOUND EXCEPTION)


Can anyone suggest me how to configure them.


Thanks in Advance.
