Class PropertyBag

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

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

type - the Class representing the type of the property.

Returns:

the value of the property in bag; null if the value of the property was null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if no property with the given name name exists in the bag.

ClassCastException - if the property exists, but is not of the specified type.

getProperty

public <T> T getProperty(String name,
                         Class<T> type,
                         T def)

ClassCastException - if the property exists, but is not of the specified type.

getStringProperty
