Method Detail

toString

public abstract String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class ConfObject

Returns:

the printable representation of the object.

equals

public abstract boolean equals(Object o)

Determine if two ConfValue are equal. In general, ConfObjects are equal if the components they consist of are equal.

Specified by:

equals in class ConfObject

Parameters:

o - The object to compare to.

Returns:

true if the objects are identical.

hashCode

public abstract int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class ConfObject

encode

public abstract ConfEObject encode()

encode value.

Specified by:

encode in class ConfObject

getStringByValue

public static String getStringByValue(ConfPath path,
                                      ConfValue val)
                               throws ConfException

Get the string representation of a ConfValue at a given position in the schema. The given path must be absolute and fully qualified with schema prefixes. Note, this method relies on Maapi.loadSchemas() being called prior to this call.

Parameters:

path - ConfPath representing the absolute schema path to the element

val - ConfValue subclass representing the value

Returns:

String representation of the value

Throws:

ConfException

getStringByValue

public static String getStringByValue(String path,
                                      ConfValue val)
                               throws ConfException

Get the string representation of a ConfValue at a given position in the schema. The given path must be absolute and fully qualified with schema prefixes. Note, this method relies on Maapi.loadSchemas() being called prior to this call.

Parameters:

path - String representing the absolute schema path to the element

val - ConfValue subclass representing the value

Returns:

String representation of the value

Throws:

ConfException

getValueByString

public static ConfValue getValueByString(ConfPath path,
                                         String str)
                                  throws ConfException

Get a ConfValue representation a string at a given position in the schema. The given path must be absolute and fully qualified with schema prefixes. Note, this method relies on Maapi.loadSchemas() being called prior to this call.

Parameters:

path - ConfPath representing the absolute schema path to the element

str - String representation of the value

Returns:

ConfValue the value for the element

Throws:

ConfException

getValueByString

public static ConfValue getValueByString(String path,
                                         String str)
                                  throws ConfException

Get a ConfValue representation a string at a given position in the schema. The given path must be absolute and fully qualified with schema prefixes. Note, this method relies on Maapi.loadSchemas() being called prior to this call.

Parameters:

path - String representing the absolute schema path to the element

str - String representation of the value

Returns:

String representation of the value

Throws:

ConfException
