Class AbstractPropertyContainer

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.jcs.utils.props.AbstractPropertyContainer

Direct Known Subclasses:

PartitionedCacheAccess

public abstract class AbstractPropertyContainer
extends Object

Provides a mechanism to load properties into objects.

Functions that depend on properties should call ensureProperties() before it uses any properties.

AbstractPropertyContainer

public AbstractPropertyContainer()

ensureProperties

public void ensureProperties()
                      throws ConfigurationException

Makes sure an AbstractPropertyClass has all the properties it needs.

Synchronized mutators so multiple threads cannot cause problems. We wouldn't want the properties heading to get changed as we were processing the properties.

Throws:

ConfigurationException - on configuration failure

initializeProperties

public void initializeProperties()
                          throws ConfigurationException

Loads the properties and then calls handleProperties. Typically, you don't need to call this. This is primarily intended for reinitialization.

If the properties object is null, when you call ensureProperties initialize will be called.

Throws:

ConfigurationException - on configuration failure

handleProperties

protected abstract void handleProperties()
                                  throws ConfigurationException

Sets fields for properties, and verifies that all necessary properties are there.

Throws:

ConfigurationException - on configuration failure
