Loading a properties file

It is s not advisable to hard code the values in a java programming.  The efficient way of doing it is by using Properties file , which actually store static information in key and value pair. 

 1.Loading a propertied file present in the System location

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ReadPropertiesFile {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                Properties prop = new Properties();
                try {
                        prop.load(new FileInputStream("C:/data.properties"));
                        String name = prop.getProperty("name");
                        String address = prop.getProperty("address");
                        System.out.println("Name: " + name);
                        System.out.println("Address: " + address);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                }
        }
}

2.Loading a properties file present in java package

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.InputStream;

import java.util.Properties;

import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class LoadPropertiesExample {

  

    private Properties configProp = new Properties();

    public static void main(String[] args) {

       

     InputStream in = this.getClass().

        getResourceAsStream("/com/csc/config/config.properties");

    try {

            configProp.load(in);

        } catch (IOException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

      

        System.out.println(configProp.getProperty("name"));

    }

}
