Loading property files

Hi All,

I have a requirement where in i would have to add 4 property files in the weblogic class-path so that i can use them them at run-time , the issue is each property file will have 65000 unique key/value pairs. This would be a one time activity as in the contents of the property file will not be changed once the server starts-up .

Will this effect my performance in terms of getting response back from the application ? Memory utilization would be high but that is ok from my senior perspective.

Please help me in this , any ideas suggestion to improve this ?

Regards

As once only code, it should have no impact on your actual performance.

But I have to ask, why do you need a quarter million key/value pairs in property files. To me, this begs for a database, perhaps memcached or some other no-sql database, but still a database.

Especially if you do it right, and load the property files when the application starts. Waiting until the first request for the data could cause that request to be delayed.
