Class 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.

      • getListProperty

        public static List<String> getListProperty​(String parent,

        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.
        Returns:
        all child property values for the given parent.

        Parameters:
        name - the name of the property being set.
        value - the value of the property being set.

        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)

        Parameters:
        propertyMap - a map of properties, keyed on property name.
      • deleteProperty

        public static void deleteProperty​(String name)
