## Method Detail

### loadProperties(File, Properties, BulkLoader) Method

    public void loadProperties(File f,
                               Properties p,
                               BulkLoader loader)

Load the file-specific properties for the specified file into the properties, running under the given BulkLoader.

If the filter doesn't support the given file type or if there is an error, it should do nothing. This can use the error(), warning(), and debug() methods on the specified loader. Filters can also use `WildCard``` and `MimeTypeHelper``` to determine if they should do something with the file.
