Package com.ibm.di.config.interfaces

Interface ExternalPropertiesConfig

All Superinterfaces:

BaseConfiguration, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ExternalPropertiesDelegator, ExternalPropertiesImpl

@Deprecated
public interface ExternalPropertiesConfig
extends BaseConfiguration

Deprecated.

use TDIProperties instead

This interface gives access to a configuration's external properties. External properties are special in that the data is stored in an external file rather than by the MetamergeConfig object's storage. Use the BaseConfiguration's getXXX/setXXX methods to read and write properties.

Method Detail

getFilePath

java.lang.String getFilePath()

Deprecated.

Gets the filePath attribute of the ExternalPropertiesConfig object

Returns:

The filePath value

setFilePath

void setFilePath(java.lang.String path)

Deprecated.

Sets the filePath attribute of the ExternalPropertiesConfig object

Parameters:

path - The new filePath value

getPassword

java.lang.String getPassword()

Deprecated.

Returns the password used when opening an encrypted file

setPassword

void setPassword(java.lang.String password)

Deprecated.

Sets the password used when opening an encrypted file

getCipher

java.lang.String getCipher()

Deprecated.

Returns the Cipher algorithm used when reading/writing an encrypted file

setCipher

void setCipher(java.lang.String cipher)

Deprecated.

Sets the Cipher algorithm used when reading/writing an encrypted file

getEncrypted

boolean getEncrypted()

Deprecated.

Gets the encrypted flag of the ExternalPropertiesConfig object

Returns:

The encrypted value

setEncrypted

void setEncrypted(boolean encrypted)

Deprecated.

Sets the encrypted flag of the ExternalPropertiesConfig object

Parameters:

encrypted - The new encrypted value

getSaveNeeded

boolean getSaveNeeded()

Deprecated.

Gets the saveNeeded flag of the ExternalPropertiesConfig object

Returns:

The saveNeeded value

loadData

void loadData()
       throws java.lang.Exception

Deprecated.

This method reads the external properties into memory for subseqent use. This is typically done automatically by the hosting MetamergeConfig object when this object is requested.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the operation does not succeed

mergeData

void mergeData(java.lang.String path)
        throws java.lang.Exception

Deprecated.

This method merges the contents of a file into the current list of properties.

Parameters:

path - The file path to load properties from

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the operation does not succeed

saveData

void saveData()
       throws java.lang.Exception

Deprecated.

This method writes back the data to the external file.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the operation does not succeed
