| <section name="Steps for loading a properties file"> |
| <p> |
| This section contains some very simple examples of configuration |
| files and demonstrates how the properties defined there can be |
| read from Java code. |
| </p> |
| <subsection name="A simple properties file"> |
| <p> |
| At first lets consider that the whole configuration data of an |
| application consists of a single properties file named |
| <code>usergui.properties</code> with the following content: |
| </p> |
| <source> |
| <![CDATA[ |
| #Properties definining the GUI |
| colors.background=#FFFFFF |
| ]]> |
| </source> |
| <p> |
| Note that this file complies to the typical format of |
| properties files. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| You can also have in a simple properties file various characters |
| that are typically escaped like \n, \t etc: |
| </p> |
| <source> |
| <![CDATA[ |
| #Unescaped string that will be escaped |
| test.unescape = This \n string \t contains \" escaped \\ characters |
| ]]> |
| </source> |
