Question

For updating in my .properties file I am using Apache Commons Configuration’s PropertiesConfiguration. But as I am using the code as :

try {
        PropertiesConfiguration properties = new PropertiesConfiguration("dao.properties");

    } catch (ConfigurationException ex) {

    }

I am getting this error:

incompatible types
required: java.lang.Throwable
found:    org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException

What is going wrong here?
I am using it first for the first time.

P.S.: Is there any comparatively equivalent or better library available for handling .properties ?

Answer 1

You are using incompatible versions of the library. Try:

• commons-configuration-1.7
• commons-collections-3.2.1
• commons-lang-2.6
• commons-logging-1.1.1

It works for me.
