如何在属性文件中指定值，以便可以使用ResourceBundle＃getStringArray检索它们？

Question

I am trying to use ResourceBundle#getStringArray to retrieve a String[] from a properties file. The description of this method in the documentation reads:

Gets a string array for the given key from this resource bundle or one of its parents.

However, I have attempted to store the values in the properties file as multiple individual key/value pairs:

key=value1
key=value2
key=value3

and as a comma-delimited list:

key=value1,value2,value3

but neither of these is retrievable using ResourceBundle#getStringArray .

How do you represent a set of key/value pairs in a properties file such that they can be retrieved using ResourceBundle#getStringArray ?

Answer 1

A Properties object can hold Object s , not just String s. That tends to be forgotten because they're overwhelmingly used to load .properties files, and so often will only contain String s. The documentation indicates that calling bundle.getStringArray(key) is equivalent to calling (String[]) bundle.getObject(key) . That's the problem: the value isn't a String[] , it's a String .

I'd suggest storing it in comma-delimited format and calling split() on the value.

您可以使用Commons Configuration ，它具有getList和getStringArray方法，允许您检索逗号分隔字符串列表。

Answer 3

Umm, looks like this is a common problem, from threads here and here .

It seems either you don't use the method and parse the value for an array yourself or you write your own ResourceBundle implementation and do it yourself :(. Maybe there is an apache commons project for this...

From the JDK source code, it seems the PropertyResourceBundle does not support it.

example:

mail.ccEmailAddresses=he@anyserver.at, she@anotherserver.at

..

myBundle=PropertyResourceBundle.getBundle("mailTemplates/bundle-name", _locale);

..

public List<String> getCcEmailAddresses() 
{
    List<String> ccEmailAddresses=new ArrayList<String>();
    if(this.myBundle.containsKey("mail.ccEmailAddresses"))
    {
        ccEmailAddresses.addAll(Arrays.asList(this.template.getString("mail.ccEmailAddresses").split("\\s*(,|\\s)\\s*")));// 1)Zero or more whitespaces (\\s*) 2) comma, or whitespace (,|\\s) 3) Zero or more whitespaces (\\s*)
    }       
    return ccEmailAddresses;
}

Answer 5

I don't believe this is possible with ResourceBundles loaded from a properties file. The PropertyResourceBundle leverages the Properties class to load the properties file. The Properties class loads a properties file as a set of String->String map entries and doesn't support pulling out String[] values.

Calling ResourceBundle.getStringArray just calls ResourceBundle.getObject, casting the result to a String[]. Since the PropertyResourceBundle just hands this off to the Properties instance it loaded from the file, you'll never be able to get this to work with the current, stock PropertyResourceBundle.

Answer 6

just use spring - Spring .properties file: get element as an Array

relevant code:

base.module.elementToSearch=1,2,3,4,5,6

@Value("${base.module.elementToSearch}")
  private String[] elementToSearch;

Answer 7

key=value1;value2;value3

String[] toArray = rs.getString("key").split(";");

Answer 8

public String[] getPropertyStringArray(PropertyResourceBundle bundle, String keyPrefix) {
    String[] result;
    Enumeration<String> keys = bundle.getKeys();
    ArrayList<String> temp = new ArrayList<String>();

    for (Enumeration<String> e = keys; keys.hasMoreElements();) {
        String key = e.nextElement();
        if (key.startsWith(keyPrefix)) {
            temp.add(key);
        }
    }
    result = new String[temp.size()];

    for (int i = 0; i < temp.size(); i++) {
        result[i] = bundle.getString(temp.get(i));
    }

    return result;
}

I have tried this and could find a way. One way is to define a subclass of ListresourceBundle, then define instance variable of type String[] and assign the value to the key.. here is the code

@Override
protected Object[][] getContents() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    String[] str1 = {"L1","L2"};

    return new Object[][]{

            {"name",str1},
            {"country","UK"}                
    };
}
