Accessing a value in a .properties file

[fightingillini]

I'm trying to get a servlet to access a value key in a .properties file. I need to create a object variable that will ask for the value of a specific key in the .properties file.

Does anyone know how this is done?

Thank you!

import java.util.*;
...
...
// Read properties file.
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    try {
        properties.load(new FileInputStream("filename.properties"));
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

// Get a value based on a key
String string = properties.getProperty("key1");

That should do it, or something close to it.
