PropertiesUtil

public PropertiesUtil()
Method Detail

load

public Properties load(String propertiesFile)
Load properties from either a file in the templatePath if there is one or the classPath.

Parameters:
propertiesFile - the properties file to load through either the templatePath or the classpath.
Returns:
a properties instance filled with the properties found in the file or an empty instance if no file was found.

loadFromTemplatePath

protected Properties loadFromTemplatePath(String propertiesFile)
                                   throws Exception
Load a properties file from the templatePath defined in the generator. As the templatePath can contains multiple paths, it will cycle through them to find the file. The first file that can be successfully loaded is considered. (kind of like the java classpath), it is done to clone the Velocity process of loading templates.

Parameters:
propertiesFile - the properties file to load. It must be a relative pathname.
Returns:
a properties instance loaded with the properties from the file. If no file can be found it returns an empty instance.
Throws:
Exception

loadFromClassPath

protected Properties loadFromClassPath(String propertiesName)
                                throws Exception
Load a properties file from the classpath

Parameters:
propertiesName - the properties file to load.
Returns:
a properties instance loaded with the properties from the file. If no file can be found it returns an empty instance.
Throws:
Exception
