I am working on a web project using Spring and Spring MVC.
I have a feature that is the same for 3 different elements (which are available in dropdown in view). Only two parameters change for each item. I decided to put these elements and parameters in a .properties
file to permit the user change them. So for example in my .properties I have the following:
FC
fcUuid=11111111111111111
fcTag=tag1
AC
itUuid=22222222222222222
itTag=tag2
IT
acUuid=333333333333333333
acTag=tag3
For the moment I am able to retrieve each element separately.
For example:
String communityUuid = SpringPropertiesUtil.getProperty("fcUuid");
(SpringPropertiesUtil
extends PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer
)
But my question is: how can I retrieve all the parameters relative to one element?
For example the user selects "FC", how in my service layer can I retrieve both fcUuid and fcTag parameters?
Of course I can do something like:
if(param="FC"){
String communityUuid = SpringPropertiesUtil.getProperty("fcUuid");
String communityTag = SpringPropertiesUtil.getProperty("fcTag");
} else if (param="AC"){...}
But I don't want to do that because the user can add elements so I would have to modify the code each time.
I would like something like:
String communityUuid = SpringPropertiesUtil.getProperties(param[0]);
String tagUuid = SpringPropertiesUtil.getProperties(param[1]);
Or even better:
String communityUuid = SpringPropertiesUtil.getProperties(param[uuid]);
String tagUuid = SpringPropertiesUtil.getProperties(param[tag]);
