property file problems

I am trying to read a property file.. using the code,

properties.load(new FileInputStream("SessionInit.properties"));

this property file is in the same package as my source file... still it
gives me FileNotFoundException.

i have tried giving ./SessionInit.properties and different other
options.. but still gives the trouble.. i am using jkd 1.5 and netbeans
IDE v 5.0



thanks in advance.

The file needs to be relative to System.getProperty("user.dir").
Also, your code will leak the file resource if you do not maintain a
reference and call close() in a finally block.
