Properties File Format

The following restrictions apply to properties:

•

Do not use the exclamation point (!) as a comment line indicator. Instead, use the number sign (#).

•

The line continuation character is ignored, and you cannot define a property with multiline values.

•

A key cannot contain any of the termination characters. Although you can use termination characters by escaping the value with a preceding backslash (\) in Java, TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database does not support this syntax.

•

All paths inside a properties file, including Microsoft Windows directory names, must use forward slashes.
