1。使用java.util.Properties类的load()方法
示例: 
         InputStream in = lnew BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(name));
         Properties p = new Properties();
         p.load(in);

2。使用java.util.ResourceBundle类的getBundle()方法
示例: 
         ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle(name, Locale.getDefault());

3。使用java.util.PropertyResourceBundle类的构造函数
示例: 
         InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(name));
         ResourceBundle rb = new PropertyResourceBundle(in);

4。使用class变量的getResourceAsStream()方法
示例: 
         InputStream in = JProperties.class.getResourceAsStream(name);
         Properties p = new Properties();
         p.load(in);

5。使用class.getClassLoader()所得到的java.lang.ClassLoader的getResourceAsStream()方法
示例: 
         InputStream in = JProperties.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(name);
         Properties p = new Properties();
         p.load(in);

6。使用java.lang.ClassLoader类的getSystemResourceAsStream()静态方法
示例: 
         InputStream in = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream(name);
         Properties p = new Properties();
         p.load(in);

补充

Servlet中可以使用javax.servlet.ServletContext的getResourceAsStream()方法
示例:
         InputStream in = context.getResourceAsStream(path);
         Properties p = new Properties();
         p.load(in);

完整的示例,可以参考附件文件
