Method Detail

getNonNullEntry

public static Object getNonNullEntry(Configuration config,
                                     String component,
                                     String name,
                                     Class type)
                              throws ConfigurationException

Obtains a non-null object from the specified Configuration using the specified arguments.

Calling this method is equivalent to calling getNonNullEntry(config, component, name, type, Configuration.NO_DEFAULT, Configuration.NO_DATA).

Parameters:

config - the Configuration being consulted.

component - the component being configured

name - the name of the entry for the component

type - the type of the object to be returned

Returns:

a non-null object obtained from calling config.getEntry using the other passed arguments

Throws:

NoSuchEntryException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does

ConfigurationException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does, or if the returned entry is null. Any Error thrown while creating the object is propagated to the caller; it is not wrapped in a ConfigurationException

IllegalArgumentException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does

NullPointerException - if any of the arguments are null

                              throws ConfigurationException

Obtains a non-null object from the specified Configuration using the specified arguments.

Calling this method is equivalent to calling getNonNullEntry(config, component, name, type, defaultValue, Configuration.NO_DATA).

Parameters:

config - the Configuration being consulted.

component - the component being configured

name - the name of the entry for the component

type - the type of the object to be returned

defaultValue - the object to return if no matching entry is found

Returns:

a non-null object obtained from calling config.getEntry using the other passed arguments

Throws:

NoSuchEntryException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does

ConfigurationException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does, or if the returned entry is null. Any Error thrown while creating the object is propagated to the caller; it is not wrapped in a ConfigurationException

IllegalArgumentException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does

NullPointerException - if any of the arguments are null

getNonNullEntry

public static Object getNonNullEntry(Configuration config,
                                     String component,

                              throws ConfigurationException

Obtains a non-null object from the specified Configuration using the specified arguments.

Calling this method is equivalent to calling config.getEntry(component, name, type, defaultValue, data) after ensuring that defaultValue is non-null and throwing ConfigurationException if the result is null.

Parameters:

config - the Configuration being consulted.

component - the component being configured

name - the name of the entry for the component

type - the type of the object to be returned

defaultValue - the object to return if no matching entry is found

data - an object to use when computing the value of the entry, or Configuration#NO_DATA to specify no data

Returns:

a non-null object obtained from calling config.getEntry using the other passed arguments

Throws:

NoSuchEntryException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does

ConfigurationException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does, or if the returned entry is null. Any Error thrown while creating the object is propagated to the caller; it is not wrapped in a ConfigurationException

IllegalArgumentException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does

NullPointerException - if the config, component, name, type, or defaultValue arguments are null

getLongEntry

public static long getLongEntry(Configuration config,
                                String component,
                                String name,
                                long defaultValue,
                                long min,
                                long max)
                         throws ConfigurationException

Obtains a long that falls within the given inclusive range from the specified Configuration using the specified component and entry names.

Parameters:

config - the Configuration being consulted.

component - the component being configured

name - the name of the entry for the component

defaultValue - the long to return if no matching entry is found

min - the minimum value the entry should have

max - the maximum value the entry should have

Returns:

a long obtained from calling config.getEntry using component, name, and defaultValue.

Throws:

NoSuchEntryException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does

ConfigurationException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does, or if the returned entry is null, or if returned value is not between min and max, inclusive. Any Error thrown while creating the object is propagated to the caller; it is not wrapped in a ConfigurationException

IllegalArgumentException - if the underlying call to config.getEntry does, if defaultValue is not between min and max inclusive, or if min is larger than max
