I need to create a properties file to store username/passwords for DBs and other websites for my application.
Is there a good place to put this?
I was thinking of putting in /usr/local/myapp/myapp.properties
However…this doesnt really make much sense for Windows boxes. However, I don’t want to store it under a particular user’s account as I want it to be global for all users.
Any thoughts?
Store it wherever you like, and point your application to it via a vm parameter:
-Dproperties.location=/usr/local/...Then you can read it with
System.getProperty("properties.location")
