public ExtendedProperties()

ExtendedProperties

public ExtendedProperties(java.util.Properties props)

supported for interface compatibility to java.util.Properties only, default properties are not supported.

Method Detail

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key,
                            java.lang.Object value)

Maps the specified key to the specified value in this hashtable. Neither the key nor the value can be null.

This method allows to add serveral values for one key. In this case an array is returned.

Specified by:

put in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

put in class java.util.Hashtable<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object>

Parameters:

key - the hashtable key

value - the value

Returns:

the new value of the specified key in this hashtable

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)

Internal use only, public for compatibility to Hashtable only.

Specified by:

get in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

get in class java.util.Hashtable<java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object>

getBoolean

public boolean getBoolean(java.lang.String name,
                          boolean def)

Get this property value, as a boolean.

Parameters:

name - the name of the property to be fetched

def - the default value, if the property isn't defined

Returns:

a boolean

getString

public java.lang.String getString(java.lang.String name,
                                  java.lang.String def)

Get this property value, as a String.

Parameters:

name - the name of the property to be fetched

def - the default value, if the property isn't defined

Returns:

a String

getStringArray

public java.lang.String[] getStringArray(java.lang.String name,
                                         java.lang.String[] def)

Get this property as a String array.

Parameters:

name - the property's name

def - the default value (if undefined)

Returns:

a String array, or null if the property is undefined.

getObjectArray

public java.lang.Object[] getObjectArray(java.lang.String name,

Get this property as an Object array.

Parameters:
