reading passwords and connections from a flat file

[Anonymous]

Hi there!
I am currently trying to figure out how to read connection information (ie username, password, dbname,...) from a plain text file. Does anyone have any leads or helpful tips???

Here is how I would proceed:
1> Create an instance of File object
2> Read the file contents using BufferedReader and FileReader objects.
3> Read the file contents line by line.
4> Use the StringTokenizer object to break the line into various String tokens.
5> Store the tokens ( which may include user ids, passwords, etc.) into different vectors.
Regards,
Milind
