loading .properties file dynamically

[nanaji]

Hi

I am using swingapplication framework for the desktop programme. To get the properties we should use resourceMap = org.jdesktop.application.Application.getInstance() .getContext().getResourceMap(com.aob.test.class);

But the jar classes i am loading dynamically using ClassLoader.

Can run the class instance, cannot load the property file.

How to load the property file along with class file.

If i keep jar file under classpath, it is working fine.

You're right, keep the JAR in the classpath. That's how the ClassLoader finds the .properties file.

Thanks for reply. But i don't want to keep the jar under classpath. Bcz i m planning to load the jar classes using dynamic classLoader.

I will appreciate if you have any idea .


Thanks

ClassLoader only works with the classpath. I don't know how to do this, but it is possible to alter the classpath inside the JVM and to then create a new ClassLoader instance. That is how Web application servers like Tomcat can reload classes for a particular application without affecting the rest of the server.

In your case, you want to identify a JAR file, modify the classpath so that JAR is on the classpath, and then create a new ClassLoader, using that ClassLoader instance to load the properties and anything else in the JAR. Again, I don't know how to do that. I suggest reading the API carefully and googling.
