Loading a properties file from a server

[Kruzer]

I need to grab a a.properties file from the server, use the parameters throughout for other classes.

I have a constants class created

public static final something = "";
...

I have this code started, but I'm not sure if this is what I need to do to get the properties file off the server.

import java.util.Properties;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class MyProperties extends Properties{

public MyProperties() {}

public MyProperties(String absoluteName) throws Exception {
super();
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(absoluteName);
load(is);
is.close();
}
}

What's your major malfunction

You're on the right track. You don't really need to subclass properties though. You could just use a Properties object and create a method to load the Properties from your file in the main class. Other than that, what you are doing will work fine.

Could you, in code syntax, show me what you mean?

public class MyProperties {

Properties obj = Properties();
