public class JPService
extends Object

Java Property Service, this is the central lib controller used to initialize and manage all properties.

Author:

Divine Threepwood JPS Library can be used for managing the properties of an application. The argument definition is realized by registering classes which extends the AbstractJavaProperty class. Common argument types are supported by the preset properties (e.g. Integer, Boolean, String types). The library supports the generation of a properties overview page.

Method Detail

setApplicationName

public static void setApplicationName(String name)

Set the application name. The name is displayed in the help screen in the property overview page.

Parameters:

name - the application name

setApplicationName

public static void setApplicationName(Class mainclass)

Set the application name by the main class name. The name is displayed in the help screen in the property overview page. The name is generated by using the lower case simple class name of the given class.

Parameters:

mainclass - the application mainclass which is used to generate the application name.

getApplicationName

public static String getApplicationName()

Returns the configurated application name.

Returns:

the application name.

registerProperty

public static <V,C extends AbstractJavaProperty<V>> void registerProperty(Class<C> propertyClass,
                                                                          V defaultValue)

Register the given property and overwrite the default value of the given one. Do not use this method after calling the analyze method, otherwise recursive property usage is not effected by the new default value!

Type Parameters:

V -

C -

Parameters:

propertyClass -

defaultValue -

overwriteDefaultValue

public static <V,C extends AbstractJavaProperty<V>> void overwriteDefaultValue(Class<C> propertyClass,
                                                                               V defaultValue)

Overwrites the default value of the given property without displaying the property in the help overview, For overwriting a regular property default value, use the property registration method instead. Do not use this method after calling the analyze method, otherwise recursive property usage is not effected by the new default value!

Type Parameters:

V -

C -

Parameters:

propertyClass -

defaultValue -

registerProperty

public static void registerProperty(Class<? extends AbstractJavaProperty> propertyClass)

Register new property.

Parameters:

propertyClass -

parseAndExitOnError

public static void parseAndExitOnError(String[] args)

Analyze the input arguments and setup all registered Properties. If one argument could not be handled or something else goes wrong this methods calls System.exit(255); Make sure all desired properties are registered before calling this method. Otherwise the properties will not be listed in the help screen.

Parameters:

args -

printError

public static void printError(String message,
                              Throwable cause)

printError

public static void printError(Throwable cause)

Parameters:

cause -

printError

protected static void printError(Throwable cause,
                                 String prefix)

Parameters:

cause -

prefix -

parse

public static void parse(String[] args)
                  throws JPServiceException

Analyze the input arguments and setup all registered Properties. Make sure all desired properties are registered before calling this method. Otherwise the properties will not be listed in the help screen.

Parameters:

args -

Throws:

JPServiceException

setupJUnitTestMode

public static void setupJUnitTestMode()
                               throws JPServiceException

Setup JPService for JUnitTests By using the JPService during JUnit Tests it's recommended to call this method after property registration instead using the parsing methods because command line property handling makes no sense in the context of unit tests.. The following properties are activated by default while running JPService in TestMode: - JPVerbose is set to true to print more debug messages. - JPTestMode is activated.

Throws:

JPServiceException

getProperty

public static <C extends AbstractJavaProperty> C getProperty(Class<C> propertyClass)
                                                      throws JPNotAvailableException

Returns the current value of the given property line class. If the property is never registered but the class is known in the classpath, the method returns the default value.

Type Parameters:
