Method Detail

• loadPropertyFile

  public static Properties loadPropertyFile(File propFile,
                            Properties baseProps)
                                     throws IOException

  Reads a property file, resolving all internal variables, using the supplied base properties.

  Parameters:

  propFile - The property file to load.

  baseProps - Properties containing the initial values to substitute into the properties file.

  Returns:

  Properties object containing the properties in the file with their values fully resolved.

  Throws:

  IOException - if profile does not exist, or cannot be read.
