Creating java properties file from XML

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. Check out the URL

The good news is that the platform is not only competitive but is often a better choice than the iPhone for many programmers and the enterprises that employ them.

Where the Wild Things Are: an Adventure in Silverlight (Act I) (O'Reilly Media)
It seems to me that there is a big culture of misinformation in both the Flex and Silverlight camps regarding how the other gets the job done. I figured the best way to bridge the divide was to investigate how Silverlight, and XAML, does the RIA thang. Through this article, I will focus on Flex 4 and Silverlight 3. That is, Flex 4 Beta 2 (Gumbo), Flash Builder 4 Beta 2, Flash Catalyst Beta 2 ...
