Class PropertyBag

java.lang.Object
org.identityconnectors.test.common.PropertyBag

public final class PropertyBag

extends java.lang.Object

Encapsulates a read-only bag of properties, which can be accessed in a type-safe manner.

The simplest way to obtain a required (i.e., the property must be in the bag, otherwise an exception is thrown) property value is getProperty(String, Class). If the property is not a required one, the getProperty(String, Class, Object) method can be used, which also takes a default value which is returned when the property is not present in the bag.

Method Summary

<T> T	getProperty(java.lang.String name, java.lang.Class<T> type) Gets the value of a required property in a type-safe manner.
<T> T	getProperty(java.lang.String name, java.lang.Class<T> type, T def) Gets a property value, returning a default value when no property with the specified name exists in the bag.
java.lang.String	getStringProperty(java.lang.String name) Gets a required property value known to be of string type.
java.lang.String	toString()
