Class DomainProperties

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.colle.util.DomainProperties

public class DomainProperties

extends Object

Uses a simple algorithm to locate domain qualified properties such as com.example.sub.system.color. The following locations will be searched in the following order (first match ends search): 1. If defined, System.getProperty("com.example.sub.system.color") is used and the search ends. 2. ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream("com.example.sub.system.properties") is used to load a properties file and "color" property is queried. 3. Step 2 is repeated for each parent domain (eg: "com.example.sub.properties", "com.example.properties", "com.properties"). The property name queried is the remaining original property name (eg: "system.color", "sub.system.color", "example.sub.system.color"). If the same properties are defined in multiple property files (e.g.: com.example.sub.properties contains system.color and com.example.properties contains sub.system.color, then the outer most property file takes precedence (e.g.: com.example.properties). Care should be taken when multiple class loaders are in use (J2EE) as some class loaders may have different visibilty to different property files. Created: 23 Aug 2004
