Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:PropertyResourceBundle [NONE]
-     public class PropertyResourceBundle
      extends ResourceBundle
  > `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.

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. Since: 1.1 See Also: `ResourceBundle`, `ListResourceBundle`, `Properties`

### constructor:PropertyResourceBundle(java.io.InputStream) [NONE]
- #### PropertyResourceBundle
      public PropertyResourceBundle(InputStream stream)
                             throws IOException
Creates a property resource bundle from an `InputStream`. The property file read with this constructor must be encoded in ISO-8859-1. Parameters: `stream` - 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.

### constructor:PropertyResourceBundle(java.io.Reader) [NONE]
- #### PropertyResourceBundle
      public PropertyResourceBundle(Reader reader)
                             throws IOException
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` - 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`. Since: 1.6

### method:handleGetObject(java.lang.String) [NONE]
- #### handleGetObject
      public Object handleGetObject(String key)
Description copied from class: `ResourceBundle` 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. Specified by: `handleGetObject` in class `ResourceBundle` Parameters: `key` - the key for the desired object Returns: the object for the given key, or null

### method:getKeys() [NONE]
- #### getKeys
      public Enumeration<String> getKeys()
Returns an `Enumeration` of the keys contained in this `ResourceBundle` and its parent bundles. Specified by: `getKeys` in class `ResourceBundle` Returns: an `Enumeration` of the keys contained in this `ResourceBundle` and its parent bundles. See Also: `ResourceBundle.keySet()`

### method:handleKeySet() [NONE]
- #### handleKeySet
      protected Set<String> handleKeySet()
Returns a `Set` of the keys contained only in this `ResourceBundle`. Overrides: `handleKeySet` in class `ResourceBundle` Returns: a `Set` of the keys contained only in this `ResourceBundle` Since: 1.6 See Also: `ResourceBundle.keySet()`
