Class ConfigManager

java.lang.Object

com.agimatec.commons.config.ConfigManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class ConfigManager
extends Object
implements Serializable

Provides central access to configuration files. The singleton can be used (getDefault()). A ConfigManger uses a resource name (file) in the classpath that contains the absolute config root path. If the resource cannot be found, the config manager tries to access a system property with the same name. If such a system property exists, its value is used as the config root path. The default configrootressourcename is "configroot.ini".
ConfigManager.getDefault() sucht eine Resource configroot.ini im Klassenpfad. Es koennen andere ConfigManager instanziert werden, die ggf. eine andere Resource verwenden, wenn man mehrere config-roots haben moechte. Die configroot.ini Datei enthaelt den Pfad, in dem die Datei configroot.xml zu finden ist. Wird die Resource nicht gefunden, so ist config-root das aktuelle Verzeichnis. Im Config-root wird als Einstieg in die Konfigurationen die configDatei configroot.xml gesucht (die muss immer so heissen). In dieser Datei sind nur <file> Tags erlaubt, die auf andere ConfigFiles verweisen und zwar entweder relativ zum configroot (als Default) oder mit absolutem Pfad (relative="false"). Alle anderen Configfiles koennen beliebige Datenstrukturen darstellen: - alle primitiv-Typen als Wrapperklasse oder als Node-Klasse - list, map, ArrayList, HashMap - filenodes auf andere Dateien, die ggf. keine config-dateien mehr sind (so kann auf bel. Resourcen verwiesen werden ohne den JavaSource Pfadabh. zu machen)

Constructor Detail

ConfigManager

public ConfigManager(String aConfigRootRessouceName)

Creates a new ConfigManager.

Parameters:

aConfigRootRessouceName - the resource name (file) in the classpath that contains the absolute config root path. If the resource cannot be found, the config manager tries to access a system property with the same name. If such a system property exists, its value is used as the config root path. The default configrootressourcename is "configroot.ini".
