Update: A ResourceBundle<\/a> object is the way to go. In comparison to the Properties<\/a> class, the ResourceBundle class is a breeze. To load, read and retrieve the key ‘searchlib.dblibrary’ from a text file called ‘database.properties’ using the Properties class, you’d end up with something like this:<\/p>\n

String databaseDriver;
\ntry {
\n  FileInputStream propFile = new FileInputStream(“c:\\\\myapp\\\\sandbox\\\\database.properties”);
\n  Properties p = new Properties();
\n  p.load(propFile);
\n  databaseDriver = p.getProperty(“searchlib.dblibrary”);
\n} catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException fe) {}
\n} catch (java.io.IOException ie) {}<\/p>\n

where you have to hardcode the path to the properties file and if the path changes, you have to recompile. <\/p>\n

To do the same thing with the ResourceBundle class, you’d end up with something like this:<\/p>\n

String databaseDriver;
\nResourceBundle res = ResourceBundle.getBundle(“database”);
\ndatabaseDriver = res.getString(“searchlib.dblibrary”);<\/p>\n

The file this time is located by JVM, located somewhere in the classpath. No try\/catch is necessary. Alot easier isn’t it? <\/p>\n
