XML Configuration: (notification.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<config>
    <notification>
        <server>Server</server>
    </notification>
</config>

Code:

import org.apache.commons.configuration.XMLConfiguration;

try {
    XMLConfiguration config = new XMLConfiguration(getClass().getResource("notification.xml"));
    String server = config.getString("notification.server");
    System.out.println(server);
}
catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Key:

• getClass().getResource() to get config file
• To get config value, use notification.server, not config.notification.server
