How to use property file in Selenium Webdriver

Question

     //Reading data from property file :

      String username = prop.getProperty("username");
      String password = prop.getProperty("password");
           @Test
public void testValidCredentials()  {
obj.loginAs("username","password");

}

public HomePage loginAs(String username, String password) {

    driver.findElement(By.id("id1")).sendKeys(username);
    driver.findElement(By.id("id2")).sendKeys(password);
    driver.findElement(By.id("id3")).click();
    return new HomePage(driver);

}

What i was trying to do is pass username and password to loginAs method but however when i pass it inserts as Email as Username and password as password instead of what i read from my property file. Property file : username = r@t.com password = 1234

Problem might be in this line

obj.loginAs("username","password");

change it to

obj.loginAs(username,password);

that is username, password without quotes.

+1. In its current stage, OP is passing "username" and "password", two string literals, not the desired ``username`` and ``password`` string variables. – Ignacio Contreras Pinilla Sep 21 '12 at 07:49
