Method Detail

getParameterSettings

NameValuePair[] getParameterSettings()

Gets the settings for configuration parameters that are not in any group.

Returns:

an array of NameValuePair objects, each of which contains a parameter name and the value of that parameter

setParameterSettings

void setParameterSettings(NameValuePair[] aSettings)

Sets the settings for configuration parameters that are not in any group.

Parameters:

aSettings - an array of NameValuePair objects, each of which contains a parameter name and the value of that parameter

getSettingsForGroups

Map<String,NameValuePair[]> getSettingsForGroups()

Gets the settings for configuration parameters that are defined within groups.

Returns:

a Map with String keys (the group names) and NameValuePair[] values (the settings for parameters in that group.

getParameterValue

Object getParameterValue(String aParamName)

Looks up the value of a parameter. This is a "dumb" getter and does not follow any fallback strategies. It will only return the value of a parameter that is not defined in any group.

Parameters:

aParamName - the name of a parameter that is not in any group

Returns:

the value of the parameter with name aParamName

getParameterValue

Object getParameterValue(String aGroupName,
                         String aParamName)

Looks up the value of a parameter in a group. This is a "dumb" getter and does not follow any fallback strategies.

Parameters:

aGroupName - the name of a configuration group. If this parameter is null, this method will return the same value as getParameterValue(String).

aParamName - the name of a parameter in the group

Returns:

the value of the parameter in group aGroupName with name aParamName

setParameterValue

void setParameterValue(String aParamName,
                       Object aValue)

Sets the value of a parameter. This only works for a parameter that is not defined in any group.

Parameters:

aParamName - the name of a parameter that is not in any group

aValue - the value to assign to the parameter

setParameterValue

void setParameterValue(String aGroupName,
                       String aParamName,
                       Object aValue)

Sets the value of a parameter in a group.

Parameters:

aGroupName - the name of a configuration group

aParamName - the name of a parameter in the group

aValue - the value to assign to the parameter
