Interface PropertiesPersister

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultPropertiesPersister, ResourcePropertiesPersister

public interface PropertiesPersister

Strategy interface for persisting java.util.Properties, allowing for pluggable parsing strategies.

The default implementation is DefaultPropertiesPersister, providing the native parsing of java.util.Properties, but allowing for reading from any Reader and writing to any Writer (which allows to specify an encoding for a properties file).
