Hi, I read that we can setproperties through setProperty(), so why the following program is incorrect?



And given the command line invocation:
java -DcmdProp=cmdValue Values
What is the result?
A. null myValue null null
B. cmdValue null null cmdValue
C. cmdValue null null newValue
D. cmdValue myValue null cmdValue
E. cmdValue myValue null newValue
F. An exception is thrown at runtime

Can anybody explain me why answer is F?

Hi Don,

That's true.. But in the book (SCJP Study Guide by Bert) it is mentioned F.

That's why I got confused.

Don you have to invoke the program using command line switch -D.

In eclipse, if you pass -DcmdProp=cmdValue as VM arguments then the result is "cmdValue myValue null newValue", if you pass as program aguments then it is "null myValue null newValue". It has nothing to do with JDK 1.7 i suppose.

Strange, i see the answer as E. It might be misprinted.

E is correct. System properties can be set at the command line, as indicated correctly in
the example. System properties can also be set and overridden programmatically.

Thank you all.
