null

and below is my code to read properties file.

public class FilePropertyReader {

	private final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ConsumerThread.class);

	public static String getProperty(String properyFileName, String key) {
		String value = null;
		try {
			ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle(properyFileName);
			value = rb.getString(key);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			logger.error("getProperty", e);
		}
		return value;
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println(getProperty("E:\\InteractCRM\\SMSConnect\\configuration\\config\\JMSConfig.properties", "validateXML"));
	}
}

Can anybody help out solving this issue.

Thanks a lot.

You have the choice of either :

Using PropertyResourceBundle (check the constructors)

Or put the properties file in the classpath and use getBundle("JMSConfig")
