Method Detail

subset

public Configuration subset(String prefix)

Create an Configuration object that is a subset of this one. The new Configuration object contains every key from the current Configuration that starts with prefix. The prefix is removed from the keys in the subset.

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix used to select the properties.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Check if the configuration is empty.

Returns:

true is the configuration contains no key/value pair, false otherwise

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(String key)

Check if the configuration contains the key.

Returns:

true is the configuration contains a value for this key, false otherwise

addProperty

public void addProperty(String key,
                        Object value)

Add a property to the configuration. If it already exists then the value stated here will be added to the configuration entry. For example, if resource.loader = file is already present in the configuration and you addProperty("resource.loader", "classpath") Then you will end up with a Vector like the following: ["file", "classpath"]

Parameters:

key - The Key to add the property to.

value - The Value to add.

setProperty

public void setProperty(String key,
                        Object value)

key - The key of the property to change

value - The new value
