Method Detail

loadProperties

public static Properties loadProperties(String name,
                        ClassLoader loader)

Looks up a resource named 'name' in the classpath. The resource must map to a file with .properties extention. The name is assumed to be absolute and can use either "/" or "." for package segment separation with an optional leading "/" and optional ".properties" suffix. Thus, the following names refer to the same resource:

 some.pkg.Resource
 some.pkg.Resource.properties
 some/pkg/Resource
 some/pkg/Resource.properties
 /some/pkg/Resource
 /some/pkg/Resource.properties
 

Parameters:

name - classpath resource name [may not be null]

loader - classloader through which to load the resource [null is equivalent to the application loader]

Returns:

resource converted to java.util.Properties [may be null if the resource was not found and THROW_ON_LOAD_FAILURE is false]

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the resource was not found and THROW_ON_LOAD_FAILURE is true
