public class DynamicCombinedConfiguration extends CombinedConfiguration

DynamicCombinedConfiguration allows a set of CombinedConfigurations to be used.

Each CombinedConfiguration is referenced by a key that is dynamically constructed from a key pattern on each call. The key pattern will be resolved using the configured ConfigurationInterpolator.

This Configuration implementation uses the configured Synchronizer to guard itself against concurrent access. If there are multiple threads accessing an instance concurrently, a fully functional Synchronizer implementation (e.g. ReadWriteSynchronizer) has to be used to ensure consistency and to avoid exceptions. The Synchronizer assigned to an instance is also passed to child configuration objects when they are created.

  • Method Details

    • addConfiguration

      public void addConfiguration(Configuration config, String name, String at)
      Adds a new configuration to this combined configuration. It is possible (but not mandatory) to give the new configuration a name. This name must be unique, otherwise a ConfigurationRuntimeException will be thrown. With the optional at argument you can specify where in the resulting node structure the content of the added configuration should appear. This is a string that uses dots as property delimiters (independent on the current expression engine). For instance if you pass in the string "database.tables", all properties of the added configuration will occur in this branch.
      Overrides:
      addConfiguration in class CombinedConfiguration
      Parameters:
      config - the configuration to add (must not be null)
      name - the name of this configuration (can be null)
      at - the position of this configuration in the combined tree (can be null)

    • addEventListener

      public <T extends Event> void addEventListener(EventType<T> eventType, EventListener<? super T> listener)
      Description copied from interface: EventSource
      Adds an event listener for the specified event type. This listener is notified about events of this type and all its sub types.
      Specified by:
      addEventListener in interface EventSource
      Overrides:
      addEventListener in class BaseEventSource
      Type Parameters:
      T - the type of events processed by this listener
      Parameters:
      eventType - the event type (must not be null)
      listener - the listener to be registered (must not be null)

    • addNodesInternal

      protected void addNodesInternal(String key, Collection<? extends ImmutableNode> nodes)
      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Actually adds a collection of new nodes to this configuration. This method is called by addNodes(). It can be overridden by subclasses that need to adapt this operation.
      Overrides:
      addNodesInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Parameters:
      key - the key where the nodes are to be added; can be null, then they are added to the root node
      nodes - a collection with the Node objects to be added

    • addPropertyInternal

      protected void addPropertyInternal(String key, Object value)
      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Adds the property with the specified key. This task will be delegated to the associated ExpressionEngine, so the passed in key must match the requirements of this implementation.
      Overrides:
      addPropertyInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Parameters:
      key - the key of the new property
      value - the value of the new property

    • beginRead

      protected void beginRead(boolean optimize)
      Notifies this configuration's Synchronizer that a read operation is about to start. This method is called by all methods which access this configuration in a read-only mode. Subclasses may override it to perform additional actions before this read operation. The boolean optimize argument can be evaluated by overridden methods in derived classes. Some operations which require a lock do not need a fully initialized configuration object. By setting this flag to true, such operations can give a corresponding hint. An overridden implementation of beginRead() can then decide to skip some initialization steps. All basic operations in this class (and most of the basic Configuration implementations) call this method with a parameter value of false. In any case the inherited method must be called! Otherwise, proper synchronization is not guaranteed. This implementation checks whether a combined root node is available. If not, it is constructed by requesting a write lock. This implementation ensures that the current configuration is initialized. The lock counter is increased.
      Overrides:
      beginRead in class CombinedConfiguration
      Parameters:
      optimize - a flag whether optimization can be performed

    • beginWrite

      protected void beginWrite(boolean optimize)
      Notifies this configuration's Synchronizer that an update operation is about to start. This method is called by all methods which modify this configuration. Subclasses may override it to perform additional operations before an update. For a description of the boolean optimize argument refer to the documentation of beginRead(). In any case the inherited method must be called! Otherwise, proper synchronization is not guaranteed. This implementation checks whether a combined root node is available. If not, it is constructed now. This implementation ensures that the current configuration is initialized. If necessary, a new child configuration instance is created.
      Overrides:
      beginWrite in class CombinedConfiguration
      Parameters:
      optimize - a flag whether optimization can be performed

      Parameters:
      key - the key of the property to be removed
      Returns:

    • configurationAt

      public HierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode> configurationAt(String key)
      Description copied from class: BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Returns a hierarchical subnode configuration for the node specified by the given key. This is a short form for configurationAt(key, <b>false</b>). This is a short form for configurationAt(key, <b>false</b>).
      Specified by:
      configurationAt in interface HierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Overrides:
      configurationAt in class BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Parameters:
      key - the key that selects the sub tree
      Returns:
      a hierarchical configuration that contains this sub tree
      See Also:

    • configurationAt

      public HierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode> configurationAt(String key, boolean supportUpdates)
      Description copied from class: BaseHierarchicalConfiguration

      Returns a hierarchical sub configuration object that wraps the configuration node specified by the given key. This method provides an easy means of accessing sub trees of a hierarchical configuration. In the returned configuration the sub tree can directly be accessed, it becomes the root node of this configuration. Because of this the passed in key must select exactly one configuration node; otherwise an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

      The difference between this method and the Configuration.subset(String) method is that subset() supports arbitrary subsets of configuration nodes while configurationAt() only returns a single sub tree. Please refer to the documentation of the SubnodeConfiguration class to obtain further information about sub configurations and when they should be used.

      With the supportUpdate flag the behavior of the returned sub configuration regarding updates of its parent configuration can be determined. If set to false, the configurations return on independent nodes structures. So changes made on one configuration cannot be seen by the other one. A value of true in contrast creates a direct connection between both configurations - they are then using the same underlying data structures as much as possible. There are however changes which break this connection; for instance, if the sub tree the sub configuration belongs to is completely removed from the parent configuration. If such a change happens, the sub configuration becomes detached from its parent. It can still be used in a normal way, but changes on it are not reflected by the parent and vice verse. Also, it is not possible to reattach a once detached sub configuration.

      The result of this implementation depends on the supportUpdates flag: If it is false, a plain BaseHierarchicalConfiguration is returned using the selected node as root node. This is suitable for read-only access to properties. Because the configuration returned in this case is not connected to the parent configuration, updates on properties made by one configuration are not reflected by the other one. A value of true for this parameter causes a tracked node to be created, and result is a SubnodeConfiguration based on this tracked node. This configuration is really connected to its parent, so that updated properties are visible on both.
      Specified by:
      configurationAt in interface HierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Overrides:
      configurationAt in class BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Parameters:
      key - the key that selects the sub tree
      supportUpdates - a flag whether the returned sub configuration should be directly connected to its parent
      Returns:
      a hierarchical configuration that contains this sub tree
      See Also:

    • configurationsAt

      public List<HierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>> configurationsAt(String key)
      Description copied from class: BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Returns a list of sub configurations for all configuration nodes selected by the given key. This method will evaluate the passed in key (using the current ExpressionEngine) and then create a sub configuration for each returned node (like HierarchicalConfiguration.configurationAt(String) ). This is especially useful when dealing with list-like structures. As an example consider the configuration that contains data about database tables and their fields. If you need access to all fields of a certain table, you can simply do 
       List fields = config.configurationsAt("tables.table(0).fields.field");
 for(Iterator it = fields.iterator(); it.hasNext();)
 {
     BaseHierarchicalConfiguration sub = (BaseHierarchicalConfiguration) it.next();
     // now the children and attributes of the field node can be
     // directly accessed
     String fieldName = sub.getString("name");
     String fieldType = sub.getString("type");
     ...
      The configuration objects returned are not connected to the parent configuration. This implementation creates sub configurations in the same way as described for BaseHierarchicalConfiguration.configurationAt(String).
      Specified by:
      configurationsAt in interface HierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Overrides:
      configurationsAt in class BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Parameters:
      key - the key for selecting the desired nodes
      Returns:
      a list with hierarchical configuration objects; each configuration represents one of the nodes selected by the passed in key

    • containsKeyInternal

      protected boolean containsKeyInternal(String key)
      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Checks if the specified key is contained in this configuration. Note that for this configuration the term "contained" means that the key has an associated value. If there is a node for this key that has no value but children (either defined or undefined), this method will still return false .
      Overrides:
      containsKeyInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Parameters:
      key - the key to be checked
      Returns:
      a flag if this key is contained in this configuration

    • containsValueInternal

      protected boolean containsValueInternal(Object value)
      Tests whether this configuration contains one or more matches to this value. This operation stops at first match but may be more expensive than the containsKey method.
      Overrides:
      containsValueInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Parameters:
      value - the value in question
      Returns:
      true if and only if some key maps to the value argument in this configuration as determined by the equals method; false otherwise.
      Since:
      2.11.0

    • endRead

      protected void endRead()
      Notifies this configuration's Synchronizer that a read operation has finished. This method is called by all methods which access this configuration in a read-only manner at the end of their execution. Subclasses may override it to perform additional actions after this read operation. In any case the inherited method must be called! Otherwise, the read lock will not be released. This implementation clears the current configuration if necessary.
      Overrides:
      endRead in class AbstractConfiguration

    • endWrite

      protected void endWrite()
      Notifies this configuration's Synchronizer that an update operation has finished. This method is called by all methods which modify this configuration at the end of their execution. Subclasses may override it to perform additional operations after an update. In any case the inherited method must be called! Otherwise, the write lock will not be released. This implementation clears the current configuration if necessary.

      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Gets an iterator with all keys defined in this configuration that start with the given prefix. The returned keys will not contain any indices. This implementation tries to locate a node whose key is the same as the passed in prefix. Then the subtree of this node is traversed, and the keys of all nodes encountered (including attributes) are added to the result set.
      Overrides:
      getKeysInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Parameters:
      prefix - the prefix of the keys to start with
      Returns:
      an iterator with the found keys

    • getList

      public List<Object> getList(String key)
      Description copied from class: AbstractConfiguration
      Gets a List of the values associated with the given configuration key. This method is different from the generic getList() method in that it does not recursively obtain all values stored for the specified property key. Rather, only the first level of the hierarchy is processed. So the resulting list may contain complex objects like arrays or collections - depending on the storage structure used by a concrete subclass. If the key doesn't map to an existing object, an empty List is returned.
      Specified by:
      getList in interface ImmutableConfiguration
      Overrides:
      getList in class AbstractConfiguration
      Parameters:
      key - The configuration key.
      Returns:
      The associated List.

    • getMaxIndexInternal

      protected int getMaxIndexInternal(String key)
      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Actually retrieves the maximum defined index for the given key. This method is called by getMaxIndex(). Subclasses that need to adapt this operation have to override this method.

      public Properties getProperties(String key)
      Description copied from interface: ImmutableConfiguration
      Gets a list of properties associated with the given configuration key. This method expects the given key to have an arbitrary number of String values, each of which is of the form key=value. These strings are split at the equals sign, and the key parts will become keys of the returned Properties object, the value parts become values.
      Specified by:

    • getSource

      public Configuration getSource(String key)
      Gets the configuration source, in which the specified key is defined. This method will determine the configuration node that is identified by the given key. The following constellations are possible:
      • If no node object is found for this key, null is returned.
      • If the key maps to multiple nodes belonging to different configuration sources, a IllegalArgumentException is thrown (in this case no unique source can be determined).
      • If exactly one node is found for the key, the (child) configuration object, to which the node belongs is determined and returned.
      • For keys that have been added directly to this combined configuration and that do not belong to the namespaces defined by existing child configurations this configuration will be returned.
      Overrides:
      getSource in class CombinedConfiguration
      Parameters:
      key - the key of a configuration property
      Returns:
      the configuration, to which this property belongs or null if the key cannot be resolved

    • getStringArray

      public String[] getStringArray(String key)
      Description copied from class: AbstractConfiguration
      Gets an array of strings associated with the given configuration key. If the key doesn't map to an existing object, an empty array is returned. When a property is added to a configuration, it is checked whether it contains multiple values. This is obvious if the added object is a list or an array. For strings the association ListDelimiterHandler is consulted to find out whether the string can be split into multiple values.
      Specified by:
      getStringArray in interface ImmutableConfiguration
      Overrides:

    • interpolatedConfiguration

      public Configuration interpolatedConfiguration()
      Description copied from class: BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Returns a configuration with the same content as this configuration, but with all variables replaced by their actual values. This implementation is specific for hierarchical configurations. It clones the current configuration and runs a specialized visitor on the clone, which performs interpolation on the single configuration nodes.
      Overrides:
      interpolatedConfiguration in class BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Returns:
      a configuration with all variables interpolated

    • invalidate

      public void invalidate()
      Invalidates the current combined configuration. This means that the next time a property is accessed the combined node structure must be re-constructed. Invalidation of a combined configuration also means that an event of type EVENT_COMBINED_INVALIDATE is fired. Note that while other events most times appear twice (once before and once after an update), this event is only fired once (after update).
      Overrides:
      invalidate in class CombinedConfiguration

    • invalidateAll

      public void invalidateAll()

    • isEmptyInternal

      protected boolean isEmptyInternal()
      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Checks if this configuration is empty. Empty means that there are no keys with any values, though there can be some (empty) nodes.
      Overrides:
      isEmptyInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Returns:
      a flag if this configuration is empty

    • removeConfiguration

      Removes the configuration with the specified name.
      Overrides:
      removeConfiguration in class CombinedConfiguration
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the configuration to be removed
      Returns:
      the removed configuration (null if this configuration was not found)

    • removeConfigurationAt

      Removes the configuration at the specified index.
      Overrides:
      removeConfigurationAt in class CombinedConfiguration

      index - the index
      Returns:
      the removed configuration

    • removeEventListener

      public <T extends Event> boolean removeEventListener(EventType<T> eventType, EventListener<? super T> listener)
      Description copied from interface: EventSource
      Removes the event listener registration for the given event type and listener. An event listener instance may be registered multiple times for different event types. Therefore, when removing a listener the event type of the registration in question has to be specified. The return value indicates whether a registration was removed. A value of false means that no such combination of event type and listener was found.
      Specified by:
      removeEventListener in interface EventSource
      Overrides:
      removeEventListener in class BaseEventSource
      Type Parameters:
      T - the type of events processed by this listener
      Parameters:
      eventType - the event type

      Returns:
      a flag whether a listener registration was removed

    • setKeyPattern

      Sets the name of the Logger to use on each CombinedConfiguration.
      Parameters:
      name - The Logger name.

    • setNodeCombiner

      public void setNodeCombiner(NodeCombiner nodeCombiner)
      Sets the node combiner. This object will be used when the combined node structure is to be constructed. It must not be null, otherwise an IllegalArgumentException exception is thrown. Changing the node combiner causes an invalidation of this combined configuration, so that the new combiner immediately takes effect.
      Overrides:
      setNodeCombiner in class CombinedConfiguration
      Parameters:
      nodeCombiner - the node combiner

    • setPropertyInternal

      protected void setPropertyInternal(String key, Object value)
      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Sets the value of the specified property.
      Overrides:
      setPropertyInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Parameters:
      key - the key of the property to set
      value - the new value of this property

    • sizeInternal

      protected int sizeInternal()
      Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration
      Actually calculates the size of this configuration. This method is called by size() with a read lock held. The base implementation provided here calculates the size based on the iterator returned by getKeys(). Sub classes which can determine the size in a more efficient way should override this method. This implementation is slightly more efficient than the default implementation. It does not iterate over the key set, but directly queries its size after it has been constructed. Note that constructing the key set is still an O(n) operation.
      Overrides:
      sizeInternal in class AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>
      Returns:
      the size of this configuration (i.e. the number of keys)

    • subset

      public Configuration subset(String prefix)
      Description copied from class: BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Creates a new Configuration object containing all keys that start with the specified prefix. This implementation will return a BaseHierarchicalConfiguration object so that the structure of the keys will be saved. The nodes selected by the prefix (it is possible that multiple nodes are selected) are mapped to the root node of the returned configuration, i.e. their children and attributes will become children and attributes of the new root node. However, a value of the root node is only set if exactly one of the selected nodes contain a value (if multiple nodes have a value, there is simply no way to decide how these values are merged together). Note that the returned Configuration object is not connected to its source configuration: updates on the source configuration are not reflected in the subset and vice versa. The returned configuration uses the same Synchronizer as this configuration.
      Specified by:
      subset in interface Configuration
      Overrides:
      subset in class BaseHierarchicalConfiguration
      Parameters:
      prefix - the prefix of the keys for the subset
      Returns:
      a new configuration object representing the selected subset
