org.apache.commons.configuration2.BaseConfiguration

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Configuration, EventSource, ImmutableConfiguration, SynchronizerSupport

Direct Known Subclasses:

PropertiesConfiguration, XMLPropertiesConfiguration

public class BaseConfiguration
extends AbstractConfiguration
implements Cloneable

Basic configuration class. Stores the configuration data but does not provide any load or save functions. If you want to load your Configuration from a file use PropertiesConfiguration or XmlConfiguration. This class extends normal Java properties by adding the possibility to use the same key many times concatenating the value strings instead of overwriting them.

Method Detail

addPropertyDirect

protected void addPropertyDirect(String key,
                                 Object value)

Adds a key/value pair to the map. This routine does no magic morphing. It ensures the keylist is maintained

Specified by:

addPropertyDirect in class AbstractConfiguration

Parameters:

key - key to use for mapping

value - object to store

getPropertyInternal

protected Object getPropertyInternal(String key)

Read property from underlying map.

Specified by:

getPropertyInternal in class AbstractConfiguration

Parameters:

key - key to use for mapping

Returns:

object associated with the given configuration key.

isEmptyInternal

protected boolean isEmptyInternal()

Check if the configuration is empty

Specified by:

isEmptyInternal in class AbstractConfiguration

Returns:

true if Configuration is empty, false otherwise.

containsKeyInternal

protected boolean containsKeyInternal(String key)

check if the configuration contains the key

Specified by:

containsKeyInternal in class AbstractConfiguration

Parameters:

key - the configuration key

Returns:

true if Configuration contain given key, false otherwise.

clearPropertyDirect

protected void clearPropertyDirect(String key)

Clear a property in the configuration.

Specified by:

clearPropertyDirect in class AbstractConfiguration

Parameters:

key - the key to remove along with corresponding value.

clearInternal

protected void clearInternal()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfiguration

Clears the whole configuration. This method is called by clear() after some preparations have been made. This base implementation uses the iterator provided by getKeys() to remove every single property. Subclasses should override this method if there is a more efficient way of clearing the configuration.

Overrides:

clearInternal in class AbstractConfiguration

sizeInternal

protected int sizeInternal()

Actually calculates the size of this configuration. This method is called by size() with a read lock held. The base implementation provided here calculates the size based on the iterator returned by getKeys(). Sub classes which can determine the size in a more efficient way should override this method. This implementation obtains the size directly from the map used as data store. So this is a rather efficient implementation.

Overrides:

sizeInternal in class AbstractConfiguration

Returns:

the size of this configuration (i.e. the number of keys)

getKeysInternal

protected Iterator<String> getKeysInternal()

Get the list of the keys contained in the configuration repository.

Specified by:

getKeysInternal in class AbstractConfiguration

Returns:

An Iterator.

clone

public Object clone()

Creates a copy of this object. This implementation will create a deep clone, i.e. the map that stores the properties is cloned, too. So changes performed at the copy won't affect the original and vice versa.

Overrides:

clone in class BaseEventSource

Returns:

the copy
