The Properties
class available in the package "java.util" can be used to
create properties object and then load the properties from the XML file
into that object. Before you load the properties defined in the XML
element into the Properties object you have to create a FileInputStream
object which can hold the XML file you are going to use.
_______________________________________________
The
import statements that are needed to work with this properties class
might include,
import
java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
Using the
properties object's loadFromXML() method you can load the FileInputStream
object into it and use the list() method to list down the properties
if needed. To get the value of a particular property you can also use
the getProperty() method. Once you get this you can store in your java
program to manipulate it anyway.
Lot of
samples are available in the internet for using this Properties class.
