Class Data

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.velocity.tools.config.Data

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Data>

Direct Known Subclasses:

Property

public class Data
extends Object
implements Comparable<Data>

This class represents configured data. If added to a FactoryConfiguration, its values will be made available in the application-scoped toolboxes produced by any ToolboxFactory configured using that configuration.

This class also implements all the functionality of Propertys, which may added to any Configuration subclass, including ToolConfiguration, ToolboxConfiguration, and FactoryConfiguration. In other words, anything you can do in a Data configuration, you can do with a Property.

Some features supported here are:

• built in Data.Types for strings, booleans, numbers, fields and lists thereof
• auto-conversion of numbers, booleans and fields in data with no explicit type
• support for any Commons-BeanUtils Converter implementation

Method Detail

setKey

public void setKey(String key)

setValue

public void setValue(Object value)

setClassname

public void setClassname(String classname)

setClass

public void setClass(String classname)

This doesn't take a Class parameter because this class was not created for all-java configuration.

setType

protected void setType(Data.Type type)

setType

public void setType(String t)

setTargetClass

public void setTargetClass(Class clazz)

setConverter

public void setConverter(Class clazz)

setConverter

public void setConverter(String classname)

convertWith

public void convertWith(org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter converter)

This is a convenience method for those doing configuration in java. It cannot be named setConverter(), or else it would confuse BeanUtils.

getKey

public String getKey()

getType

public String getType()

getValue

public Object getValue()

getTargetClass

public Class getTargetClass()

getConverter

public org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter getConverter()

getConvertedValue

public Object getConvertedValue()

validate

public void validate()

compareTo

public int compareTo(Data datum)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Data>

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

convert

protected Object convert(Object value)
