I would prefer to use the resourceboundle class to load the properties - just to get it done in one line instead of 5 lines code through stream, Properties class and load().
FYI ....
public void init(ServletConfig servletConfig) throws ServletException {
super.init(servletConfig);
try {
/*** Type1 */
Properties props = new Properties();
String fileName = getServletContext().getRealPath("WEB-INF/classes/com/test/my.properties");
// stream = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(fileName);
// stream = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/class/com/test/my.properties");
InputStream stream = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/classes/com/test/my.properties");
// props.load(new FileInputStream(fileName));
props.load(stream);
stream.close();
Iterator keyIterator = props.keySet().iterator();
while(keyIterator.hasNext()) {
String key = (String) keyIterator.next();
String value = (String) props.getProperty(key);
System.out.println("key:" + key + " value: " + value);
}
/*** Type2: */
// Just get it done in one line by rb instead of 5 lines to load the properties
// WEB-INF/classes/com/test/my.properties file
// ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.test.my", Locale.ENGLISH, getClass().getClassLoader());
ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.ibm.multitool.customerlogs.ui.nl.redirect");
Enumeration<String> keys = rb.getKeys();
while(keys.hasMoreElements()) {
String key = keys.nextElement();
System.out.println(key + " - " + rb.getObject(key));
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new ServletException("Error loading config.", e);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new ServletException("Error loading config.", e);
}
}
