Class PropertiesConverter

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.batch.support.PropertiesConverter
public final class PropertiesConverter extends Object
Utility to convert a Properties object to a String and back. Ideally this utility should have been used to convert to string in order to convert that string back to a Properties Object. Attempting to convert a string obtained by calling Properties.toString() will return an invalid Properties object. The format of Properties is that used by PropertiesPersister from the Spring Core, so a String in the correct format for a Spring property editor is fine (key=value pairs separated by new lines).

      Parse a String to a Properties object. If string is null, an empty Properties object will be returned.

      Parameters:
      stringToParse - String to parse.
      Returns:
      Properties parsed from each string.

      Returns:
      String representation of properties object
