Ruby wrapper around Java Properties

java_properties.rb

# More rubyish/convenient interface to Java Properties(e.g. Loading connection config from properties file)
class JavaProperties
  def initialize(name)
    input_stream = 
Java::Java.lang.Thread.currentThread.contextClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(name)

    if input_stream
      @properties = Java::java.util.Properties.new
      @properties.load(input_stream)
      input_stream.close
    else
      raise "#{name} not found in classpath"
    end
  end

  def [](name)
    @properties.getProperty(name)
  end
