Program: How to load Properties file from a file system?

This example shows how to load properties file from a local file system. Here we are using FileInputStream to load the properties file. Here you have to pass the physical location of the file in the file system.

package com.java2novice.properties;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Properties;

public class MyPropertyLoad {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		InputStream is = null;
		Properties prop = null;
		try {
			prop = new Properties();
			is = new FileInputStream(new File("C:/sample.properties"));
			prop.load(is);
			System.out.println("db.host: "+prop.getProperty("db.host"));
			System.out.println("db.user: "+prop.getProperty("db.user"));
			System.out.println("db.password: "+prop.getProperty("db.password"));
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

db.host=appdomain.java2novice.com
db.user=java2novice
db.password=mypassword
db.service=orcl

db.host: appdomain.java2novice.com
db.user: java2novice
db.password: mypassword
