Hi,
I'd used both the Java properties file and xml
for storing configuration settings before. Dealing
with Xml seems to be slightly more tedious
compared to the properties file.
If I would to decide on which to choose, I think
I'll choose the properties file. However, I came
across many application using Xml for this purpose
and basically, I can't see any good reasons for
doing so, apart of Xml having a hierarchical
structure.
Any comments?
Thanks in advance.
