# PropertyResourceBundle

`public class PropertyResourceBundle`
`` `extends ResourceBundle` ``

java.lang.Object
↳ | java.util.ResourceBundle
| ↳ | java.util.PropertyResourceBundle

`PropertyResourceBundle` is a concrete subclass of `ResourceBundle` that manages resources for a locale using a set of static strings from a property file. See `ResourceBundle` for more information about resource bundles.

Unlike other types of resource bundle, you don't subclass `PropertyResourceBundle`. Instead, you supply properties files containing the resource data. `ResourceBundle.getBundle` will automatically look for the appropriate properties file and create a `PropertyResourceBundle` that refers to it. See `ResourceBundle.getBundle` for a complete description of the search and instantiation strategy.

The following example shows a member of a resource bundle family with the base name "MyResources". The text defines the bundle "MyResources_de", the German member of the bundle family. This member is based on `PropertyResourceBundle`, and the text therefore is the content of the file "MyResources_de.properties" (a related example shows how you can add bundles to this family that are implemented as subclasses of `ListResourceBundle`). The keys in this example are of the form "s1" etc. The actual keys are entirely up to your choice, so long as they are the same as the keys you use in your program to retrieve the objects from the bundle. Keys are case-sensitive.

>      # MessageFormat pattern
>      s1=Die Platte \"{1}\" enthält {0}.

>      # location of {0} in pattern
>      s2=1

>      # sample disk name
>      s3=Meine Platte

>      # first ChoiceFormat choice
>      s4=keine Dateien

>      # second ChoiceFormat choice
>      s5=eine Datei

>      # third ChoiceFormat choice
>      s6={0,number} Dateien

>      # sample date
>      s7=3. März 1996

The implementation of a `PropertyResourceBundle` subclass must be thread-safe if it's simultaneously used by multiple threads. The default implementations of the non-abstract methods in this class are thread-safe.

Note: PropertyResourceBundle can be constructed either from an InputStream or a Reader, which represents a property file. Constructing a PropertyResourceBundle instance from an InputStream requires that the input stream be encoded in ISO-8859-1. In that case, characters that cannot be represented in ISO-8859-1 encoding must be represented by Unicode Escapes as defined in section 3.3 of The Java™ Language Specification whereas the other constructor which takes a Reader does not have that limitation.

## Public constructors

### PropertyResourceBundle

    public PropertyResourceBundle (InputStream stream)

Creates a property resource bundle from an `InputStream`. The property file read with this constructor must be encoded in ISO-8859-1.

Parameters
`stream` | `InputStream`: an InputStream that represents a property file to read from.

Throws
`IOException` | if an I/O error occurs
`NullPointerException` | if `stream` is null
`IllegalArgumentException` | if `stream` contains a malformed Unicode escape sequence.

### PropertyResourceBundle

    public PropertyResourceBundle (Reader reader)

Creates a property resource bundle from a `Reader`. Unlike the constructor `PropertyResourceBundle(InputStream)`, there is no limitation as to the encoding of the input property file.

Parameters
`reader` | `Reader`: a Reader that represents a property file to read from.

Throws
`IOException` | if an I/O error occurs
`NullPointerException` | if `reader` is null
`IllegalArgumentException` | if a malformed Unicode escape sequence appears from `reader`.

## Public methods

### getKeys

    public Enumeration<String> getKeys ()

Returns an `Enumeration` of the keys contained in this `ResourceBundle` and its parent bundles.

Returns
`Enumeration<String>` | an `Enumeration` of the keys contained in this `ResourceBundle` and its parent bundles.

See also:

- `ResourceBundle.keySet()`

### handleGetObject

    public Object handleGetObject (String key)

Gets an object for the given key from this resource bundle. Returns null if this resource bundle does not contain an object for the given key.

Parameters

Returns
`Object` | the object for the given key, or null

## Protected methods

### handleKeySet

    protected Set<String> handleKeySet ()
