Method Detail

getInstance

public static JiveProperties getInstance()

Returns a singleton instance of JiveProperties.

Returns:

an instance of JiveProperties.

init

public void init()

For internal use only. This method allows for the reloading of all properties from the values in the datatabase. This is required since it's quite possible during the setup process that a database connection will not be available till after this class is initialized. Thus, if there are existing properties in the database we will want to reload this class after the setup process has been completed.

size

public int size()

Specified by:

size in interface Map<String,String>

clear

public void clear()

Specified by:

clear in interface Map<String,String>

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface Map<String,String>

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object key)

Specified by:

containsKey in interface Map<String,String>

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(Object value)

Specified by:

containsValue in interface Map<String,String>

values

public Collection<String> values()

Specified by:

values in interface Map<String,String>

putAll

public void putAll(Map<? extends String,? extends String> t)

Specified by:

putAll in interface Map<String,String>

entrySet

public Set<Map.Entry<String,String>> entrySet()

Specified by:

entrySet in interface Map<String,String>

keySet

public Set<String> keySet()

Specified by:

keySet in interface Map<String,String>

get

public String get(Object key)

Specified by:

get in interface Map<String,String>

getChildrenNames

public Collection<String> getChildrenNames(String parentKey)

Return all children property names of a parent property as a Collection of String objects. For example, given the properties X.Y.A, X.Y.B, and X.Y.C, then the child properties of X.Y are X.Y.A, X.Y.B, and X.Y.C. The method is not recursive; ie, it does not return children of children.

Parameters:

parentKey - the name of the parent property.

Returns:

all child property names for the given parent.

getPropertyNames

public Collection<String> getPropertyNames()

Returns all property names as a Collection of String values.

Returns:

all property names.

remove

public String remove(Object key)

Specified by:

remove in interface Map<String,String>

put

public String put(String key,
                  String value)

Specified by:

put in interface Map<String,String>
