All Implemented Interfaces:

Loader, LocalFileLoader, ReadLoader

Direct Known Subclasses:

StdPropFileOnClasspathLoader

public class PropFileOnClasspathLoader
extends PropFileBaseLoader

Reads from a Java .property file on the classpath, following standard java conventions for the structure of those file. This loader finds the properties file via either a String or StrProperty specified in the constructor. If the StrProperty is used, an earlier an earlier loading loader must have found a value for that property if it is to be used. Assigning or configuring a null classpath effectively turns off this loader. This loader trims incoming values for String type properties using the Trimmer of the associated Property. For strings, this is the QuotedStringTrimmer by default, which will preserve whitespace if wrapped in double quotes. By default, this loader considers it a problem not find a configured file or to find unrecognized properties in a properties file and will throw a RuntimeException if that happens. The PropFileLoader is unable to detect duplicate properties (i.e., the same key value appearing more than once in a prop file). Instead of aborting the application startup with an error, only the last of the property values in the file is assigned. This is a basic limitation of the JVM Properties class, which silently ignores multiple entries, each value overwriting the last.

Method Detail

load

public LoaderValues load(StaticPropertyConfiguration appConfigDef,
                         ValidatedValuesWithContext existingValues)

Description copied from interface: Loader

Builds up a list of LoaderValues by loading property values from a configuration source. Loaders find and load values and associate them with the correct Property. If there is a problem while doing that, they register one or more LoaderProblems in the returned LoaderValues. Validation of Property values is not Loader's responsibility and will be handled outside this method.

Returns:

load

public LoaderValues load(StaticPropertyConfiguration appConfigDef,
                         ValidatedValuesWithContext existingValues,
                         String path)

Load from a non-null classpathProp path.

Parameters:

appConfigDef -

existingValues -

path -

Returns:

getSpecificLoadDescription

public String getSpecificLoadDescription()

Description copied from interface: Loader

For this particular load, where was info loaded from? This may vary from run to run based on config params. For instance, The PropFileLoader will look multiple places to find a properties file. This method should return the actual location it was found. Assume the text is prefixed with "This loader loaded from: ". An example would be "/home/user/config/my-props.properties" No ending punctuation should be used.

Returns:
