Interface IConfigStore

All Superinterfaces:

ISourceConfigStore, java.io.Serializable

public interface IConfigStore
extends ISourceConfigStore

An interface represents a configuration store. A configuration store is an abstraction of a hierarchical store to keep arbitrary data indexed by string names.

In the following example:

      param1=value1
      configStore1.param11=value11
      configStore1.param12=value12
      configStore1.subStore1.param111=value111
      configStore1.subStore1.param112=value112
      configStore2.param21=value21
 

The top config store has parameters param1 and sub-stores configStore1 and configStore2.
The following illustrates how a config store is used.

     // the top config store is passed to the following method. 
     public void init(IConfigStore config) throws EBaseException {
       IConfigStore store = config;
       String valx = config.getString("param1");  
       // valx is "value1" 


       IConfigStore substore1 = config.getSubstore("configStore1");
       String valy = substore1.getString("param11"); 
       // valy is "value11" 

        
       IConfigStore substore2 = config.getSubstore("configStore2");
       String valz = substore2.getString("param21"); 
       // valz is "value21" 

     }
