Lotus Notes connection testing utility

The following piece of code can be used to test the connectivity with the lotus notes and also can be used to perform various operations:

Session _session=null;
         Session session=null;
         Database userDb;
         System.out.println("inside main");
         try {
             HashMap<String,String> credentialsMap=getHashMapFromProperties("./properties/LotusNotes.properties");
             String hostName=credentialsMap.get("HostName");
             System.out.println(hostName);
             String port=credentialsMap.get("PortNumber");
             System.out.println(port);
             String AdminID=credentialsMap.get("AdminID");
             System.out.println(AdminID);
             String AdminPwd=credentialsMap.get("AdminPassword");
             System.out.println(AdminPwd);
             String server=credentialsMap.get("Server");
             String database=credentialsMap.get("Database");
             System.out.println("Creating Notes Session");
             session=NotesFactory.createSession(hostName+":"+port,AdminID,AdminPwd);
             System.out.println("Session created successfully");
             userDb=session.getDatabase(server, database);
             System.out.println("Database loaded successfully");
             DocumentCollection collection=userDb.search("((form='Person')&(ShortName='"+arg[0]+"'))");
             int countDoc=collection.getCount();
             Document doc = collection.getFirstDocument();

Reading the credentials from the properties file:

private static HashMap<String, String> getHashMapFromProperties(String filelocation){
          HashMap<String, String> hashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
          String thisLine = null;   
          String DELIMITER="=";                     
   try {
               BufferedReader bufferedReader =
                    new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(filelocation)));
               while ((thisLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                    if(thisLine.trim().startsWith("#")) continue;
                    int indexOfDelimiter = thisLine.indexOf(DELIMITER);
                    hashMap.put(thisLine.substring(0, indexOfDelimiter), thisLine.substring(indexOfDelimiter + 1));
               }              
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               System.out.println("Exception Occurred while parsing " + filelocation+":"+e);
               System.exit(1);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               System.out.println("Exception Occurred while parsing " + filelocation+":"+e);  
               System.exit(1);
          }   
          return hashMap;
    }
