What is the relative path for application.properies file below?

application.properties need to be loaded in LoadProperties.java file.

public static Properties loadProperties() {

    Properties props = new Properties();
    try{
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("application.properties");
        props.load(fis);    
        fis.close();
    }catch(IOException ioe){
        ioe.printStackTrace();
    }
    return props;
}

The above code works fine in normal Java Project but when I add this in Dynamic Web project path not recognized because folder structure is differ

I tried in many ways and got java.io.FileNotFoundException: application.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) error

Any help would be appreciated!
