Properties

[freesoft_2000]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the use of properties.

You see usually if you wanted to add a property you would do this

Properties systemProperties = System.getProperties();
systemProperties.setProperty("http.proxyHost", proxy);
systemProperties.setProperty("http.proxyPort", port);

But the thing is i have heard now that this property class may be deprecated soon and people are now encouraged to use the ResourceBundle.

Here is the thing i am not very sure how to use the ResourceBundle class. I tried to yahoo but almost found no information on it. For example like the above code that i have, how does one convert that using the ResourceBundle class??

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Hi
A way to use ResourceBoundle is to create a java property file (with the extension properties). In this file you can write the properties like:
PropertyName = PropertyValue

You can then access these property from your code like:
// Key is the PropertyName
public static String getDefaultProperty(String key){
String prop = null;
try{
ResourceBundle resource = ResourceBundle.getBundle(NameOfThePROPERTYFILE_WithNoExtension);
prop = resource.getString(key);
}catch(MissingResourceException e){
//missing prop
}
return prop; //prop is the PropertyValue
}
}

Hope this will help you.
