Consider using Jakarta Commons - Configuration
|
Consider using Jakarta Commons Configuration http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/configuration/ which provides a standardized interface, with typed values (integer/double/arrays...), allowing you to provide the configuration using (a mixture of):
* Properties files
* XML documents
* Property list files (.plist)
* JNDI
* JDBC Datasource
* System properties
* Applet parameters
* Servlet parameters
Using the following file-loading strategies:
* If the combination from base path and file name is a full URL that points to an existing file, this URL will be used to load the file.
* If the combination from base path and file name is an absolute file name and this file exists, it will be loaded.
* If the combination from base path and file name is a relative file path that points to an existing file, this file will be loaded.
* If a file with the specified name exists in the user's home directory, this file will be loaded.
* Otherwise the file name is interpreted as a resource name, and it is checked whether the data file can be loaded from the classpath.
