Is it possible in reading properties?

Question

protected static ResourceBundle bankBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("messages.EN.properties");

Is it possible to read properties with dot (.) extension properties name?

Answer 1

Actually ResourceBundle accepts only fully qualified base name of the bundle, with no file extension. In this case it will try to load the bundle of files like this

messages/EN/properties.properties

Answer 2

Definitely, you can use Properties class.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html

Also you can refer this sample of Code:

Properties prop = new Properties();
ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();           
InputStream stream = loader.getResourceAsStream("/messages.EN.properties");
prop.load(stream);

Answer 3

I think you should use Property class of java:

(Updated from comments)

Properties prop = new Properties(); 
ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); 
InputStream stream = loader.getResourceAsStream("/messages.EN.properties");
prop.load(stream);
