java - Reading Config File Contents -
i trying read "db_config_file.properties" file reason following error occurring:
exception in thread "awt-eventqueue-0" java.lang.nullpointerexception @ java.lang.class.forname0(native method) @ java.lang.class.forname(class.java:186)
my class handling reading of config file looks following:
public class database {
public static connection conn; public static void dbconnection() throws filenotfoundexception, ioexception, classnotfoundexception, sqlexception { properties props = new properties(); driver = props.getproperty("driver"); string url = props.getproperty("url"); string username = props.getproperty("username"); string password = props.getproperty("password"); string configfile = "f:/project/java project/src/mainscreen/db_config_file.properties"; inputstream ins = new fileinputstream(configfile); props.load(ins); class.forname(driver); conn = drivermanager.getconnection(url, username, password);
}
judging error guessing there wrong in "class.forname(driver)" part.
can please me out here?
thanks
you loading properties file input stream after reading values it. variable 'driver' null properties empty , causing npe.
