Specifying bundle.properties [message #67487]

Hello,

I would like to allow a bundle to be configured via a bundle.properties
file. I was hopeful that I could place this file within my bundle and
then acccess the preoperties defined within using
BundleContext.getProperty(String). Unfortunately, this does not work for
me. Is there a standard way of dealing with bundle specific properties
within equinox?

Cameron.

So, you want load a properties file that exists in the bundle? You should
just load it as a classpath resource in the normal way:

InputStream propsStream =
MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/bundle.properties");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(propsStream);

Regards

You might be interested in looking in the Configuration Admin service too.

Notice that Class.getResourceAsStream will use your bundles class loader
to load the resource, this implies that you could get the resource from
another bundle if you import the package your resource is located. I
recommend you use Bundle#getEntry("/bundle.properties") to get
guarantee you load the properties file from yourself.
