properties files

I'm writing a simple swing application and I want to add a properties file.

Where should I place the properties file so that I can read it from my code.  I've tried every location I can
think of and every relative path I can think of in the call to load the file, but I just get a 'File not found' exception.

All help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Peter

Re: properties files

You should probably put it in your home directory unless other users
will be using it in which case you want to put it in a public
directory.

Depends to a large extent on whether you are using windows or Linux.
Don't know about Mac but should be similar to Linux.  I use the system
properties to determine the user's home directory and place properties
files there.  That way it is OS independent.

Collections.sort(list);
for(String s : list) {
System.out.println(s);
}

faces-config

I'm still reading the docs on this, but one one page, I see that facelets 
says faces-config is no longer required, but all the examples I can find 
have that config file.

OTOH, Netbeans doesn't create that file by default.  However, the facelets 
example on the NB site does have it.  What's the scoop?

thanks,

Thufir

If I recall correctly, JSF 2.0 doesn't require faces-config.xml, but 
older versions required it.

Would it kill you to actually read some documentation, rather than 
assuming the IDE is somehow responsible for providing you with 
training?  There's a JSF 2.0 tutorial by Oracle on the web.  For dead 
trees, I found this useful:

Ah, it doesn't matter what your OS is, it's in a JAR, that's the beauty 
of JAR's.  The property file goes in the JAR.  Presumably it's similar 
for resource bundles.

Let me show you an example:

thufir <at> dur:~$ 
thufir <at> dur:~$ jar -tf NetBeansProjects/gnuNNTP/dist/gnuNNTP.jar 
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
nntp/
nntp/dur/
nntp/dur/bounceme/
nntp/dur/bounceme/net/
META-INF/persistence.xml
nntp.properties
nntp/dur/bounceme/net/Driver.class
nntp/dur/bounceme/net/Driver.java
nntp/dur/bounceme/net/JDBC.class

I was looking at a few sources, including:

http://facelets.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html#gettingstarted-setup-
faces

the above seems as official as you get, yet it specifies, to my reading, 
faces-config, which, as you confirm, is outdated.  Hence the question.  
Pardon to ruffle your feathers by not citing sufficiently, but thank you 
for confirming my understanding that faces-config isn't required anymore.

thanks,

Thanks.  I found the answer here:

<at> ManagedBean versus <at> Named

However, when the IDE makes a managed bean from the wizard, it's as so:

 <at> Named(value = "foo")
 <at> SessionScoped
public class Foo implements Serializable {

and I was just curious about the discrepancy.

I downloaded the sample, edited my version, and had it working at one 
point.  However, when I tried again, seem to run into errors along the 
lines of:

/greeting.xhtml  <at> 28,108 value="#{guessNumber.userNumberBean.userNumber}": 
Target Unreachable, identifier 'guessNumber' resolved to null

after entering the number to guess.  I notice that the Foo bean is named 
"foo" and not "Foo" and have played with such variations, departing 
slightly from the example.

The sample uses sun-web.xml which, I think I recall reading, is 
outmoded.  Because I did have it running, I think that I have the IDE set-
