Hi All,
Looking for some "best Practices" advice here. I have a properties file which I have some text messages defined in, for example, I have a
String called "Select One" which I put as the first entry of several select box's. My question is this, right now, everytime I load the list of items for the select list, I open the properties file to get the value of the first item string "Select One" . Is this wrong to go fetch it every time, should I just fetch the string from the properties file once and store it in memory along with other similar strings I need for the application? I know how to load the property file and get the string values I need, just not sure if I should be only doing this once when the app starts up and storing the strings in an object, or just fetching them again and again as they are needed.
Thanks much for any opinions,
Kim
