If a property does not exist, why is a null pointer thrown? I assume
you mean java.util.Properties? If so, that does not raise a null
pointer exception.

Hi,
I think this problem is very interesting. I have a web application that
needs various configuration. I'm using a properties file that is loaded into
a Properties-class.
The problem arrises when runtime exceptions are thrown
(NullPointerException) by using:
String value = props.getProperty("myProp");
(In this case the entry "myProp" is not available.)
The solution would be to process the properties file and put all keys and
values into a class with public static attributes:
class Props {
public static String myProp = "123";
.....
}
This processing should be done with ANT! It shall create a JAVA file before
the general compilation task. This would be great and runtime exceptions
concerning a lack of propertie-keys are extinguished forever.
Is there any tool for ANT that helps?
Thanks in advance.
