Problem in reading the .properties file in JRuby

Ruby JRuby

Hi,

I’m trying to read .properties file using JRuby, calling the java
classes. The problem is if there are comma separated values in the
property file, it fetches only the first value.

For example, say I have
a line like “type=abc,cde” in the property file. The output of “puts
prop.get_property(“type”)” returns only the first value (abc) and the
not 2nd value.

Below is my code:

require ‘java’
include_class ‘java.util.Properties’
include_class ‘java.io.FileInputStream’

def read_prop_file

    prop = Properties.new

    fileInput = FileInputStream.new("E:\\test\\test.properties")
    prop.load(fileInput)
    fileInput.close

    puts prop.get_property("type")
    puts prop.get_property("module_names")

end

Am I doing anything wrong here? how can we retrive all the values
related to a property?

Thanks

Hi,

Why don’t you test with the same code, but in Java instead ? Does it
return
all values, or again the first one ? A good approach to make this work
would be to first polish the details in pure Java, and then coding it in
JRuby.

Best Regards,
Krum.

I tried it and got the full string as a value. Can you try the script I
posted at https://gist.github.com/a0f7c2c64ac8348c34d5 (changing the
filespec of course) and see what you get?
