public interface ResourceProperties extends Properties
The ResourceProperties are a https://www.metacodes.proization of the Table. Properties represent a collection of String key and String value pairs as properties usually occur in pure text form, to be converted to the required data types. For this reason, the ResourceProperties interface provides additional conversion methods. When parsing properties from notations which do not support nodes to have values as well as child elements, then please support one of the identifiers contained in the THIS_ATTRIBUTES array.

  • Method Details

    • reload

      Properties reload() throws IOException, ParseException
      Reloads the ResourceProperties from the resource to which the ResourceProperties are attached to (such as a File as of ResourceProperties.MutableResoureProperties.loadFrom(File) or ResourceProperties.MutableResoureProperties.saveTo(File)). In case the resource (such as an InputStream) does not support reloading, then an IllegalStateException is thrown. Properties existing in the attached resource as well in the Properties itself are replaced. Properties existing in the attached resource but not(!) in the Properties itself are not(!) removed. Use reload(ReloadMode) with an argument of true (~ orphan removal) to remove properties not existing in the resource.
      Returns:
      The Properties as loaded from the resource and applied to this instance.
      Throws:
      IOException - thrown in case accessing the resource encountered an I/O problem.
      IllegalStateException - in case the attached resource does not support reloading.
      ParseException - Signals that an error has been reached unexpectedly while parsing the data to be loaded.

    • reload

      Properties reload(ReloadMode aReloadMode) throws IOException, ParseException
      Reloads the ResourceProperties from the resource to which the ResourceProperties are attached to (such as a File as of ResourceProperties.MutableResoureProperties.loadFrom(File) or ResourceProperties.MutableResoureProperties.saveTo(File)). In case the resource (such as an InputStream) does not support reloading, then an IllegalStateException is thrown. Properties existing in the attached resource as well in the Properties itself are replaced. When "orphan removal" is set to false, then properties existing in the attached resource but not(!) in the Properties itself are not(!) removed. When "orphan removal" is set to true, then properties existing in the attached resource but not(!) in the Properties itself are(!) removed.
      Parameters:
      aReloadMode - when set to ReloadMode.ORPHAN_REMOVAL, then properties existing in the attached resource but not(!) in the Properties itself are(!) removed. Else properties not existing in the attached resource are kept.
      Returns:
      The Properties as loaded from the resource and applied to this instance.
      Throws:
      IOException - thrown in case accessing the resource encountered an I/O problem.
      IllegalStateException - in case the attached resource does not support reloading.
      ParseException - Signals that an error has been reached unexpectedly while parsing the data to be loaded.

    • toSerialized

      default String toSerialized(char aDelimiter)
      Produces the external representation of the properties as of the serialized format supported by the implementing class.
      Parameters:
      aDelimiter - The path delimiter to be used when serializing the properties (in case the the serialized format supports / requires the such).
      Returns:
      The external (serialized) representation of the properties.

    • toSerialized

      default String toSerialized(String aComment)
      Produces the external representation of the properties as of the serialized format supported by the implementing class.
      Parameters:

      Returns:
      The external (serialized) representation of the properties.

    • toSerialized

      String toSerialized(String aComment, char aDelimiter)
      Produces the external representation of the properties as of the serialized format supported by the implementing class.
      Parameters:
      aComment - The comment to be used.
      aDelimiter - The path delimiter to be used when serializing the properties (in case the the serialized format supports / requires the such).
      Returns:
      The external (serialized) representation of the properties.
