Properties File Format

Java CAPS enables you to generate custom alerts in a Java-based Collaboration. Use the custom method of the alerter node. The first argument of the custom method is the new alert code. For detailed instructions, see the document at the following URL http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/820-0952/820-0952.pdf.

Create a text file that includes one entry for each new alert code that you specify. The entry contains three parts

• The alert code

• An equal sign (=)

• The alert message

To enter a comment line, start the line with a pound sign (#).

When you are done, save the file with the .properties file extension.

Here is a sample properties file:
