Loading properties from a XML file

This Example shows you how to Load properties from a
XML file. JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) is an interface which provides
parsing of xml documents. Here the Document BuilderFactory is used to create new
DOM parsers. Some of the methods used for loading properties from a XML file are
described below:-
Properties p=new Properties():-Creates an instance of
class Property class .Importance of property class here is that by the use of
this class we can save properties to a stream and also load properties from a
stream.
p.load(inputStream):-This method reads a propertyList
from inputstream (inputStream).
p.list(System.out):-This method prints the propertyList
to the OutputStream.
Xml code for the program generated is:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Company>
<Employee>
<name Girish="Gi">Roseindia.net
</name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<name Komal="Ko">newsTrack
</name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<name Mahendra="Rose">Girish Tewari
</name>
</Employee>
</Company>
