Method Detail

addValue

public void addValue(java.lang.String key,
                     java.lang.Object value)

Adds a value to the configuration. If the key has already a value assigned to, the old value will be replaced by the new value.

Parameters:

key - the key to the configuration entry

value - the value of the configuration entry, may be null.

addValue

public void addValue(java.lang.Class keyClass,
                     java.lang.Object value)

Registers a global implementation for an interface. The implementation is retrievable using ConfigProvider.getValue(Class).

Note The keyClass will be stored as full qualified class name.

Parameters:

keyClass - the key class

value - the implementation for the given key class

addConfigurationDescription

public void addConfigurationDescription(ConfigurationDescriptor configurationDescriptor)

Adds a ConfigurationDescriptor to this ConfigManager. In advantage to adding a simple key-value-mapping, ConfigurationDescriptors allow lazy instantiation of the configuration values.

Parameters:

configurationDescriptor - the ConfigurationDescriptor (not null)

Since:

Quasar Client 2.1

addValuesWithReader

public void addValuesWithReader(ConfigReader configReader)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Adds object values using the ConfigReader to the configuration.

Parameters:

configReader - the ConfigReader to be used for reading the file and creating the configuration value

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an exception occurs while reading the file.
