Here's a properties manager: public class PropertiesManager { private final static String PROPERTIES_FILE = "/application.properties"; private static Properties props = null; private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(PropertiesManager.class); // Load the properties from properties file into memory. static { props = new Properties(); InputStream is = PropertiesManager.class.getResourceAsStream(PROPERTIES_FILE); try { props.load(is); } catch (IOException e) { log.error(e); } finally { try { is.close(); } catch (IOException e) { log.error(e); } } } /** * Gets a property value * @param key a property key * @return a property value. */ public static String getProperty(String key) { return props.getProperty(key); } } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
