Property file can't be read

[Tulsa]

I am facing an exception when i am trying to create a connection to database.I have all the database connection strings in the database.property file .Is there anything to change in my code

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 java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at com.jpmc.efs.tcrr.pillar.release2.JavaPoller.getCo nnection(JavaPoller.java:41)
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;
}

Your database.properties file needs to be in the directory from which you're running the program, since you didn't specify any path information in the call to new FileInputStream(). If it's somewhere else, then either change the path you're passing in, or move the file to the current working directory.
