properties.setProperty() method problem

[satish]

Hi,

I have a property file on my system and I am able to load that into a properties
object and also able to read the values using properties.getProperty() method..but
for the same properties of the file using properties.setProperty() to write
new values into the file and it doesn't work..the program complies well and
runs also without any errors, but it is not writing into the file....my friend
says I have to physically write inot the file using FileOutputStreams..and
then use the
properties.setProperty() method to write the new values....

pls let me know how do I do it.....if u know the ans...

Your friend is half right, you have to use setProperty() to set the new
value and THEN use store() to write to the file.
