Question

I need to know that how to read the directory path from a .properties file in java.
for example,

class clazz
{
string filename="d:/file.txt";
public void somemethod()
{
FileWriter f=new FileWriter(filename, true);
// etc
}

i want to read the filename from .properties file rather than from a variable.
how it can be done?

Answer 1

A fairly simple way is to use a resource file, through the ResourceBundle class.

ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com/file");

Where com/file is the file.properties in the com package.

This file could have a line like this:

file.name=C:\dir\file.txt

For get this particular data.

String filename = bundle.getString("file.name");

I hope this can help you. Good luck!
