How to load a property file in/for scriptlet

[mulcamd]

In my scriptlet I do a lot of calculation and create a bean for a histogram in a bar chart.

For the calcuation of the histogram I use values. There are almost 1700, so way to much to show as a prompt and hard coding them in the scriptlet is very bad and no flexibel.

I want to load these values into the scriplet as a property file. This property file should be stored together with my .JRXML or .JASPER file in the same location (folder / directory and in the repository).

Questions:

1. How can I load this property file in iReport
     My problem is that I can not figure out in the scriptlet the location of the .JRXML that is running.
2. How should I make this work in JasperReports Server.

I'm open to other solutions than I came up with.
