Hello again, all!
So I'm trying to be smarter about my utility classes (properties, loggers, etc.). I may not be understanding this correctly and may be making a horrible mistake, so any corrections/concerns/comments would be most appreciated.
I have my startup class (called out in creotk.dat). It, in turn, instantiates a class with static values/methods/etc.
public static void start(){
//The properties are used throughout the other JLink stuff.
new com.paccar.commonUtils.GenerateProperties();
........
The generateproperties class has (among other things) static Properties (with a getter/setter)
public class GenerateProperties {
private static Properties jlinkProps = new Properties();
public GenerateProperties(){
jlinkProps.put("tmpFileLocation",System.getenv("TEMP"));
..........
public static Properties getJlinkProps(){
return jlinkProps;
}
I then have another startup class that is instantiated in the same creotk.dat file. I was attempting to access the static values of the properties file in this file. They come up null.
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, com.paccar.commonUtils.GenerateProperties.getJlinkProps().getProperty("draFileLocation"));
So, am I completely misunderstanding the use of static values/methods? If the values are initially set right away, no problem (i.e. if I access a static String already initialized to something at the beginning of the class, no sweat).
