One of the changes in WordPress 2.7 release is the disappearance of page id column from the admin console. As far as I know, currently there is no way to display the page id column.
Page ids can be used to exclude or arrange links to the pages in the navigation menu.
I use page id to exclude certain pages from appearing in my navigation menu.

So, without the convenient page id column how do you determine the page id for a particular page?

But there is a simple way to determine the page id without installing any plugin.
Here is what you need to do to find the id of any page. More

If you need to read properties file in your Spring application all you need is to configure a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean in your application context.
Following example shows how to read property values from a properties file named config.properties. This file needs to be in your classpath so Spring can find it.

Let’s begin by creating a simple Java class that will use the properties values from the file.

package com.zparacha.spring.examples.config;

public class CreateUser {
	//Spring will populate these fields through Dependency Injection.
        private String name;
	private String email;
	private String URL;

	public CreateUser(){}
	public String getName() {
	  return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public String getEmail() {
		return email;
	}

	public void setEmail(String email) {
		this.email = email;
	}

	public String getURL() {
		return URL;
	}

	public void setURL(String url) {
		URL = url;
	}
	public void displayUser() {
		System.out.println("Name=" + this.name);
		System.out.println("Email="+ this.email);
		System.out.println("URL=" + this.URL);
	}
}
