Combining 2 parameter files into 1 Object.

Hi all,

I have 2 files, one holds a list of parameter in key=value format. And the other one holds the meta for the parameter file with the name of the parameter and "_" and the meta key = value. it looks somthing like this:

File 1:

Max=50

DisableReconnect=N

SendLogonReconnect=Y

File 2:

Max_Name=Max

Max_ValidValues=50,100,150

Max_Mask=###

DisableReconnect_Name=DisableReconnect

DisableReconnect_ValidValues=Y,N

DisableReconnect_Mask=

What would be the best way to that if i know that the each object that i will create is supposed to be displayed as a row in Jtable with the right editor for the value.

Thanks for any help.

O.K.

I have created "MyProperties" class that gets the files, combine them and create a collection of the object (each parameter gets 1 object).

Is that what u meant to do?

Step 2

If so, I am getting the values as string, which is o.k for all the paramters accept "CurrentValue" which will get its type from the key "Type" in the object.

What will be the best way to deal data type convertions, so that i can later on use that in a swing TableModel for creating/using the right renderers for the cell.

Thank for your help so far

It's was very productive and helpful.

I now that i am getting a little out of this forum scope, but i hope that it is o.k with you.
