Property file cannot be read

[Tulsa]

I am facing an exception when i am trying to create a connection to database.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: database.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)

at com.jpmc.efs.tcrr.pillar.release2.JavaPoller.main( JavaPoller.java:97).


Code:
public static Connection getConnection()
throws SQLException, IOException
{
Properties props = new Properties();
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("database.properties");
props.load(in);
in.close();
Connection conn = null;
try
{
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setDriverType(props.getProperty("driver.type") );
ods.setServerName(props.getProperty("server.name") );
ods.setNetworkProtocol(props.getProperty("network. protocol"));
ods.setDatabaseName(props.getProperty("database.na me"));
ods.setPortNumber(Integer.parseInt(props.getProper ty("port.number")));
ods.setUser(props.getProperty("user.name"));
ods.setPassword(props.getProperty("password"));
conn = ods.getConnection();
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return conn;
}

Not that this has a great deal to do with databases, but Java can't find that file.

Where is that file in relation to the rest of your code?

database.property is the property file where i have defined all the connection strings of the databse such as server name, driver type ..etc ...

Which didn't answer my question.

Where is the file in relation to the rest of your code?
