JiveGlobals (Core XMPP Server 4.3.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.jivesoftware.util.JiveGlobals

```
public class JiveGlobals
extends Object
```
Controls Jive properties. Jive properties are only meant to be set and retrieved by core Jive classes. Some properties may be stored in XML format while others in the database.
When starting up the application this class needs to be configured so that the initial configuration of the application may be loaded from the configuration file. The configuration file holds properties stored in XML format, database configuration and user authentication configuration. Use setHomeDirectory(String) and setConfigName(String) for setting the home directory and path to the configuration file.
XML property names must be in the form prop.name - parts of the name must be separated by ".". The value can be any valid String, including strings with line breaks.

```
    Return all immediate children property values of a parent Jive property as a list of strings, or an default list if the property does not exist. This implementation ignores child property values that are empty (these are excluded from the result). When all child properties are empty, an empty collection (and explicitly not the default values) is returned. This allows a property to override a default non-empty collection with an empty one. The child properties that are evaluated in this method are the same child properties as those used by getProperties(String).
    
    Parameters:
    
    parent - the name of the parent property to return the children for.
    
    defaultValues - values returned if the property doesn't exist.

```
public static void setProperty(String name,
                               String value)
```
    Sets a Jive property. If the property doesn't already exists, a new one will be created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the property being set.
    
    value - the value of the property being set.
  - setProperty
```
public static void setProperty(String name,

                               boolean encrypt)
```
    Sets a Jive property. If the property doesn't already exists, a new one will be created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the property being set.
    
    value - the value of the property being set.
    
    encrypt - true to encrypt the property in the database, other false
  - setProperty
```
public static void setProperty(String name,
                               List<String> values)
```
    Sets a Jive property with a list of values. If the property doesn't already exists, a new one will be created. Empty or null values in the collection are ignored. Each value is stored as a direct child property of the property name provided as an argument to this method. When this method is used, all previous children of the property will be deleted. When the provided value is null, any previously stored collection will be removed. If it is an empty collection (or a collection that consists of null and empty values onlu), it is stored as an empty collection (represented by a child property that has an empty value). The naming convention used by this method to define child properties is subject to change, and should not be depended on. This method differs from setProperties(Map), which is used to set multiple properties. This method sets one property with multiple values.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the property being set.
    
    values - the values of the property.
  - setProperties
```
public static void setProperties(Map<String,String> propertyMap)
```
    Sets multiple Jive properties at once. If a property doesn't already exists, a new one will be created. This method differs from setProperty(String, List), which is used to one property with multiple values. This method sets multiple properties, each with one value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyMap - a map of properties, keyed on property name.
  - deleteProperty
```
public static void deleteProperty(String name)
```
    Deletes a Jive property. If the property doesn't exist, the method does nothing. All children of the property will be deleted as well.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the property to delete.
  - migrateProperty
```
public static void migrateProperty(String name)
```
