Hi Vikas,

The Servlet Property File
Properties are stored in a text file with a default name of servlet.properties(You can specify it another name when you start ServletRunner.) The file holds the properties for all the servlets that servletrunner will run.
Here is the servlet.properties file for the Bookstore example:
    # This file contains the properties for the Bookstore servlets.
     # Book Store -- main page
    servlet.bookstore.code=BookStoreServlet
    # The servlet that manages the database of books
    servlet.bookdb.code=database.BookDBServlet
     # View all the books in the bookstore
    servlet.catalog.code=CatalogServlet
    # Show information about a specific book
    servlet.bookdetails.code=BookDetailServlet
    # See the books that you've chosen to buy
    servlet.showcart.code=ShowCartServlet
    # Collects information for buying the chosen books
    servlet.cashier.code=CashierServlet
    # Provide a receipt to the user who's bought books
    servlet.receipt.code=ReceiptServlet
Thanks.

Hi,

ServletProperties: Gives the location of a file containing properties for your servlets.
The path can be absolute or relative to Apache's server root and, if not specified, defaults to
conf/servlets.properties
Many properties can be set within the properties file. Arguments can be passed to all servlets with the statement:
servlets.default.initArgs=arg1=val1,arg2=val2,...
Arguments can be passed to individual servlets as follows:
servlet.servletname.initArgs=arg1=val1,arg2=val2,...
The sixth and final step is to fire up Apache. Well, you should be ready to go at this point, so go into the /sbin directory of your Apache tree and start up the server:
cd /usr/local/apache/sbin
./apachectl start

Please check below link.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.
