loading properties file

[Manisha reddy]

can i know the different ways of loading the properties file?

Thanks in advance

[Jesper de Jong]

Different ways? Just do something like this:

Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("hello.properties");
props.load(in);
in.close();

[Sarath PS]

put the props file in class path and try ,

    
Properties props = new Properties();
/*
If /home/temp/classes dir is in class path prop file should be 'Hello.properties'. If it is inside '/home/temp/classes/com/test' you should load 'using com.test.Hello'
*/
 
props.load(getClass()getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("Hello");
