Java write to ResourceBundle

Question

Is it possible to write back to a ResourceBundle? Currently I am using a ResourceBundle to store information, at runtime it is read using the following

while(ResourceBundle.getBundle("bundleName").getKeys().hasMoreElements()){

//output

}

Should I not be using a ResourceBundle if I wish to write to it?

Answer 1

It looks like by default this is not the case, but you can pass an instance of ResourceBundle.Control to ResourceBundle.getBundle to use a custom subclass of ResourceBundle that would expose a setKey method that lets you set the keys.
