Java&Xml教程（十）XML作为属性文件使用

我们一般会将Java应用的配置參数保存在属性文件里。Java应用的属性文件能够是一个正常的基于key-value对,以properties为扩展名的文件。也能够是XML文件.
在本案例中。將会向大家介绍怎样通过Java程序输出这两种格式的属性文件。并介绍怎样从classpath中载入和使用这两种属性文件。
以下是案例程序代码：
PropertyFilesUtil.java

package com.journaldev.util;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Set;

public class PropertyFilesUtil {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String propertyFileName = "DB.properties";
        String xmlFileName = "DB.xml";
        writePropertyFile(propertyFileName, xmlFileName);
        readPropertyFile(propertyFileName, xmlFileName);
        readAllKeys(propertyFileName, xmlFileName);
        readPropertyFileFromClasspath(propertyFileName);
    }

    /**
     * read property file from classpath
     * @param propertyFileName
     * @throws IOException
     */
    private static void readPropertyFileFromClasspath(String propertyFileName) throws IOException {
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        prop.load(PropertyFilesUtil.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(propertyFileName));
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +" loaded from Classpath::db.host = "+prop.getProperty("db.host"));
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +" loaded from Classpath::db.user = "+prop.getProperty("db.user"));
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +" loaded from Classpath::db.pwd = "+prop.getProperty("db.pwd"));
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +" loaded from Classpath::XYZ = "+prop.getProperty("XYZ"));

    }

    /**
     * read all the keys from the given property files
     * @param propertyFileName
     * @param xmlFileName
     * @throws IOException 
     */
    private static void readAllKeys(String propertyFileName, String xmlFileName) throws IOException {
        System.out.println("Start of readAllKeys");
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        FileReader reader = new FileReader(propertyFileName);
        prop.load(reader);
        Set<Object> keys= prop.keySet();
        for(Object obj : keys){
            System.out.println(propertyFileName + ":: Key="+obj.toString()+"::value="+prop.getProperty(obj.toString()));
        }
        //loading xml file now, first clear existing properties
        prop.clear();
        InputStream is = new FileInputStream(xmlFileName);
        prop.loadFromXML(is);
        keys= prop.keySet();
        for(Object obj : keys){
            System.out.println(xmlFileName + ":: Key="+obj.toString()+"::value="+prop.getProperty(obj.toString()));
        }
        //Now free all the resources
        is.close();
        reader.close();
        System.out.println("End of readAllKeys");
    }

    /**
     * This method reads property files from file system
     * @param propertyFileName
     * @param xmlFileName
     * @throws IOException 
     * @throws FileNotFoundException 
     */
    private static void readPropertyFile(String propertyFileName, String xmlFileName) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        System.out.println("Start of readPropertyFile");
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        FileReader reader = new FileReader(propertyFileName);
        prop.load(reader);
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +"::db.host = "+prop.getProperty("db.host"));
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +"::db.user = "+prop.getProperty("db.user"));
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +"::db.pwd = "+prop.getProperty("db.pwd"));
        System.out.println(propertyFileName +"::XYZ = "+prop.getProperty("XYZ"));
        //loading xml file now, first clear existing properties
        prop.clear();
        InputStream is = new FileInputStream(xmlFileName);
        prop.loadFromXML(is);
        System.out.println(xmlFileName +"::db.host = "+prop.getProperty("db.host"));
        System.out.println(xmlFileName +"::db.user = "+prop.getProperty("db.user"));
        System.out.println(xmlFileName +"::db.pwd = "+prop.getProperty("db.pwd"));
        System.out.println(xmlFileName +"::XYZ = "+prop.getProperty("XYZ"));
        //Now free all the resources
        is.close();
        reader.close();
        System.out.println("End of readPropertyFile");
    }

    /**
     * This method writes Property files into file system in property file
     * and xml format
     * @param fileName
     * @throws IOException
     */
    private static void writePropertyFile(String propertyFileName, String xmlFileName) throws IOException {
        System.out.println("Start of writePropertyFile");
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        prop.setProperty("db.host", "localhost");
        prop.setProperty("db.user", "user");
        prop.setProperty("db.pwd", "password");
        prop.store(new FileWriter(propertyFileName), "DB Config file");
        System.out.println(propertyFileName + " written successfully");
        prop.storeToXML(new FileOutputStream(xmlFileName), "DB Config XML file");
        System.out.println(xmlFileName + " written successfully");
        System.out.println("End of writePropertyFile");
    }

}

当执行这段代码时。writePropertyFile 方法会在生成上述两种格式的属性文件，并將文件存储在project的根文件夹下。
writePropertyFile 方法生成的两种属性文件内容：
DB.properties

#DB Config file
#Fri Nov 16 11:16:37 PST 2012
db.user=user
db.host=localhost
db.pwd=password

DB.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
<comment>DB Config XML file</comment>
<entry key="db.user">user</entry>
<entry key="db.host">localhost</entry>
<entry key="db.pwd">password</entry>
</properties>

须要注意的是comment元素，我们在使用prop.storeToXML(new FileOutputStream(xmlFileName), "DB Config XML file");这段代码时第二个參数传入的是凝视内容，假设传入null，生成的xml属性文件將没有comment元素。

控制台输出内容例如以下：

Start of writePropertyFile
DB.properties written successfully
DB.xml written successfully
End of writePropertyFile
Start of readPropertyFile
DB.properties::db.host = localhost
DB.properties::db.user = user
DB.properties::db.pwd = password
DB.properties::XYZ = null
DB.xml::db.host = localhost
DB.xml::db.user = user
DB.xml::db.pwd = password
DB.xml::XYZ = null
End of readPropertyFile
Start of readAllKeys
DB.properties:: Key=db.user::value=user
DB.properties:: Key=db.host::value=localhost
DB.properties:: Key=db.pwd::value=password
DB.xml:: Key=db.user::value=user
DB.xml:: Key=db.host::value=localhost
DB.xml:: Key=db.pwd::value=password
End of readAllKeys
