public class Configuration extends java.lang.Object
Stores runtime configuration information for application parameters that may vary on restarting. This implements the Singleton pattern, but through static methods. That is, the first time Configuration is used, the properties are loaded into the Singleton instance. Subsequent calls to valueFor() retrieve values from the Singleton. To look up a property, use
valueFor(String)
.Properties may be overridden using a second properties file, or individually using System properties specified on the command line. To override using a second properties file, specify the System property xr-conf. This should be the location of the second file relative to the CLASSPATH, or else a file path, e.g.
java -Dxr-conf=resources/conf/myprops.conf
You can also place your override properties file in your user home directory, in
${user.home}/.flyingsaucer/local.xhtmlrenderer.conf
To override a property using the System properties, just re-define the property on the command line. e.g.
java -Dxr.property-name=new_value
The order in which these will be read is: default properties (bundled with the core, in the jar; override configuration properties; properties file in user.home; and system properties.
You can override as many properties as you like.
Note that overrides are driven by the property names in the default configuration file. Specifying a property name not in that file will have no effect--the property will not be loaded or available for lookup. Configuration is NOT used to control logging levels or output; see LogStartupConfig.
There are convenience converstion method for all the primitive types, in methods like
valueAsInt(String, int)
. A default must always be provided for these methods. The default is returned if the value is not found, or if the conversion from String fails. If the value is not present, or the conversion fails, a warning message is written to the log.- Author:

Method Detail
-
setConfigLogger
public static void setConfigLogger(java.util.logging.Logger logger)
Sets the logger which we use for Configuration-related logging. Before this is called the first time, all internal log records are queued up; they are flushed to the logger when this method is first called. Afterwards, all log events are written to this logger. This queueing behavior helps avoid order-of-operations bugs related to loading configuration information related to logging.- Parameters:
logger
- Logger used for Configuration-related messages
-
valueFor
public static java.lang.String valueFor(java.lang.String key)
Returns the value for key in the Configuration. A warning is issued to the log if the property is not defined.- Parameters:
key
- Name of the property.- Returns:
- Value assigned to the key, as a String.
-
hasValue
public static boolean hasValue(java.lang.String key)
-
valueAsByte
public static int valueAsByte(java.lang.String key, byte defaultVal)
Returns the value for key in the Configuration as a byte, or the default provided value if not found or if the value is not a valid byte. A warning is issued to the log if the property is not defined, or if the conversion from String fails.- Parameters:
key
- Name of the property.defaultVal
- PARAM- Returns:
- Value assigned to the key, as a String.
-
valueAsShort
public static int valueAsShort(java.lang.String key, short defaultVal)
Returns the value for key in the Configuration as a short, or the default provided value if not found or if the value is not a valid short. A warning is issued to the log if the property is not defined, or if the conversion from String fails.- Parameters:
key
- Name of the property.defaultVal
- PARAM- Returns:
- Value assigned to the key, as a String.
-
valueAsInt
public static int valueAsInt(java.lang.String key, int defaultVal)
Returns the value for key in the Configuration as an integer, or a default value if not found or if the value is not a valid integer. A warning is issued to the log if the property is not defined, or if the conversion from String fails.- Parameters:
key
- Name of the property.defaultVal
- PARAM- Returns:
- Value assigned to the key, as a String.
-
valueAsLong
public static long valueAsLong(java.lang.String key, long defaultVal)
Returns the value for key in the Configurationas a long, or the default provided value if not found or if the value is not a valid long. A warning is issued to the log if the property is not defined, or if the conversion from String fails.- Parameters:
