getStringProperty

public final String getStringProperty(String key)

getBooleanProperty

public final boolean getBooleanProperty(String key)

getIntProperty

public final int getIntProperty(String key)

getLongProperty

public final long getLongProperty(String key)

getPathProperty

public final String getPathProperty(String key)

getStringArrayProperty

public final String[] getStringArrayProperty(String key)

Property values have to be split by '|'.

Parameters:

key -

getStringArrayProperty

public final String[] getStringArrayProperty(String key,
                                             String split)

Property values have to be split by 'split'.

Parameters:

split - a regular expression

key -

toProperty

public static final String toProperty(Object[] values)

Converts the Object[] to a String split by '|'.

Parameters:

values -

convertToPath

public static final String convertToPath(String path)

Tries to simplify a given filesystem path. E.g., test/../x/y/./z/a/../x -> x/y/z/x

Parameters:

path -

Returns:

a simplified path

getPropertiesStartingWith

public final Configuration getPropertiesStartingWith(String prefix)

Flattens the Properties hierarchies and returns an Configuration object containing only keys starting with the prefix.

Any implementation should probably be this: (where Configuration is the concrete class)

 public final Configuration getPropertiesStartingWith(final String prefix) {
        return (Configuration) getPropertiesStartingWith(new Configuration(), prefix);
 }
 

Parameters:

prefix -

setDefaultConfiguration

public final void setDefaultConfiguration(Configuration defaultConfiguration)
                                   throws IllegalAccessException

You should know what you do if you use this method! Currently it is used for a (dirty) hack to implement writers.

Parameters:

defaultConfiguration -

Throws:

IllegalAccessException
