Method Detail

getProductName

String getProductName()

Return the product name. Defaults to openjpa.

setProductName

void setProductName(String name)

Set the product name.

getLogFactory

LogFactory getLogFactory()

The log factory. If no log factory has been set explicitly, this method will create one.

setLogFactory

void setLogFactory(LogFactory factory)

The log factory.

getLog

String getLog()

Log plugin setting.

setLog

void setLog(String log)

Log plugin setting.

getLog

Log getLog(String category)

Return the log for the given category.

See Also:

getLogFactory()

getConfigurationLog

Log getConfigurationLog()

Return the log to use for configuration messages.

getId

String getId()

An environment-specific identifier for this configuration. This might correspond to a JPA persistence-unit name, or to some other more-unique value available in the current environment.

Since:

0.9.7

setId

void setId(String id)

An environment-specific identifier for this configuration. This might correspond to a JPA persistence-unit name, or to some other more-unique value available in the current environment.

Since:

0.9.7

getValue

Value getValue(String property)

Return the Value for the given property, or null if none.

getValues

Value[] getValues()

Return the set of all Values.

addValue

Value addValue(Value val)

Add the given value to the set of configuration properties. This method replaces any existing value under the same property.

removeValue

boolean removeValue(Value val)

Remove the given value from the set of configuration properties.

toProperties

Map toProperties(boolean storeDefaults)

A properties representation of this Configuration. Note that changes made to this properties object will not be automatically reflected in this Configuration object.

Parameters:

storeDefaults - if true, then properties will be written out even if they match the default value for a property

fromProperties

void fromProperties(Map map)

Set this Configuration via the given map. Any keys missing from the given map will not be set. Note that changes made to this map will not be automatically reflected in this Configuration object. IMPORTANT: If the map contains instantiated objects(rather than string values), only the string representation of those objects are considered in this configuration's equals and hashCode methods. If the object's property has no string form(such as an ObjectValue), the object is not part of the equality and hashing calculations.

addPropertyChangeListener

void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a listener for any property changes. The property events fired will not include the old value.

Parameters:

listener - the listener to receive notification of property changes

removePropertyChangeListener

void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Removes a listener for any property changes.

Parameters:

listener - the listener to remove

setReadOnly

void setReadOnly(int readOnly)

Lock down the configuration's state. Attempting to set state on a read-only configuration results in an exception.

isReadOnly

boolean isReadOnly()

Return true if this configuration is immutable.

instantiateAll

void instantiateAll()

Call the instantiating get methods for all values. Up-front instantiation allows one to avoid the synchronization necessary with lazy instantiation.

close

void close()

Free the resources used by this object.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

clone

Object clone()

Return a copy of this configuration.
