Re: properties file again

[James Perkins <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

The helpful code would code from the getFile() method.

Also, you should change the type of the propertiesFileIS to InputStream,
rather than FileInputStream.

Changed FileInputStream to InputStream:
 private synchronized void loadProperties() {
    if( fileExists() ) {
       InputStream propertiesFileIS = null;
        try {
            propertiesFileIS = new FileInputStream( getFile() );
            properties.load( propertiesFileIS );
        } catch( IOException ioe ) {
            Log.category.info <http://log.category.info/>( ioe.getMessage(),
ioe );
        } finally {
            FileUtil.silentClose( propertiesFileIS );
        }
    } else {
        properties = System.getProperties();
    }
 }


Here is a little code snippet that should work in a JAR or for a file that's
in your classpath.
protected void loadProperties() {
        InputStream in = null;
        try {
            in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(
                    "/config/props.properties");
            props.load(in);
        } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.println("Could not load the props file.");
          e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (in != null) {
                try {
                    in.close();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                }
            }
        }
}
