Method Detail

get

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

This method gets a value.

Parameters:

key - The key for the value to get

Returns:

the value or null if the value is not found

getString

public java.lang.String getString(java.lang.String key)

This method gets a value.

Parameters:

key - The key for the value to get

Returns:

the value or null if the value is not found

getLong

public java.lang.Long getLong(java.lang.String keyName)

This method gets the value of the specified property as a Long object.

Returns:

the value of the specifed property or null if a value does not exist

getInteger

public java.lang.Integer getInteger(java.lang.String keyName)

This method gets the value of the specified property as an Integer object.

Returns:

the value of the specifed property or null if a value does not exist

getDouble

public java.lang.Double getDouble(java.lang.String keyName)

Returns:

the value of the specifed property or null if a value does not exist

getBoolean

public java.lang.Boolean getBoolean(java.lang.String keyName)

This method gets the value of the specified property as a Boolean value. If the value contains 'true' this method will return Boolean.TRUE, or Boolean.FALSE otherwise.

Returns:

the value of the specifed property or null if a value does not exist

getSubset

public BankFrameResource getSubset(java.lang.String prefix)

This method gets a subset of values whose keys all begin with the specified prefix.

a BankFrameResource instance containing the subset

keys

public java.util.Enumeration keys()

Gets all the keys in the properties file.

Returns:

an enumeration of key values.

put

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

This method adds a key/value to the resource. If the key already exists in the resource then this key is updated with the new value.

Parameters:

key - the name of the value

value - the value

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.String key)

This method removes a value from the resource.
