java.util.Properties--quick question

[Nishi Bhonsle]

Hi:

I needed to know whether the getProperty(..) method in java.util.Properties , returns the property as in the [key,value] pair?

for eg, if i have a property such as
java.rmi.server.randomIDs=true,

then the call

getProperty("java.rmi.server.randomIDs")

returns

java.rmi.server.randomIDs=true
OR
true

Please let me know.

Thanks, Nishi.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#getProperty(java.lang.String)
..

says it all !!

Rule #1 for all newbies - plz get the documentation (it does not come
with the SDK ) and look into the same.

Of course you could have looked in the javaDocs or written a little

test program such as

import java.util.Properties;

public class PropTest {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Properties p = new Properties();
p.setProperty("java.rmi.server.randomIDs","true");

System.out.println(p.getProperty("java.rmi.server.randomIDs"));
}
}

Please, in the future, consult the Javadocs first. It should be clearly
explained what the method returns.

And you could have tested this yourself writing only a few lines of code.
Don't be this lazy again please.

getProperty(..)

see http://mindprod.com/wassup.html

It contains code to display all the properties, safe and restricted.
