All Implemented Interfaces:

ConfigurationBuilderProvider

public class MultiFileConfigurationBuilderProvider
extends BaseConfigurationBuilderProvider

A specialized ConfigurationBuilderProvider implementation for integrating MultiFileConfigurationBuilder with CombinedConfigurationBuilder.

When using a configuration source managed by MultiFileConfigurationBuilder it is not sufficient to store the configuration once obtained from the builder in the resulting combined configuration. Rather, it has to be ensured that each access to this configuration queries the builder anew so that it can evaluate its file pattern and return a different configuration if necessary. Therefore, this class returns a specialized wrapper over a MultiFileConfigurationBuilder which returns a configuration wrapping the builder; so accessing the configuration's properties actually calls back to the builder. This constellation is compatible with the way DynamicCombinedConfiguration manages its data.

Since:

2.0

Constructor Details

MultiFileConfigurationBuilderProvider

public MultiFileConfigurationBuilderProvider(String configCls,
 String paramCls)

Creates a new instance of MultiFileConfigurationBuilderProvider and sets the name of the configuration class to be returned by MultiFileConfigurationBuilder.

Parameters:

configCls - the name of the managed configuration class

paramCls - the name of the class of the parameters object to configure the managed configuration

Method Details

getConfigurationBuilder

public ConfigurationBuilder<? extends Configuration> getConfigurationBuilder(ConfigurationDeclaration decl)
                                                                      throws ConfigurationException

Gets the builder for the configuration source managed by this provider. This method is called during processing of the combined configuration definition file. This implementation delegates to some protected methods to create a new builder instance using reflection and to configure it with parameter values defined by the passed in BeanDeclaration. This implementation lets the super class create a fully configured builder. Then it returns a special wrapper around it.

Specified by:

getConfigurationBuilder in interface ConfigurationBuilderProvider

Overrides:

getConfigurationBuilder in class BaseConfigurationBuilderProvider

Parameters:

decl - the bean declaration with initialization parameters for the configuration builder

Returns:

the ConfigurationBuilder object created by this provider

Throws:

ConfigurationException - if an error occurs
