Detailed Description

Provides default configuration for Castor components from the castor.properties configuration file. All Castor features rely on the central configuration file.

The configuration file is loaded from the Java lib directory, the classpath and the Castor JAR. Properties set in the classpath file takes precedence over properties set in the Java library configuration file and properties set in the Castor JAR, allowing for each customization. All three files are named castor.properties.

For example, to change the parser in use, specify that all documents should be printed with identantion or turn debugging on, create a new configuration file in the current directory, instead of modifying the global one.

boolean org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.debug (  ) 

Returns true if the current configuration has enabled debugging.

Returns:
true if the current configuration has enabled debugging, otherwise false.

Reimplemented from org.exolab.castor.util.Configuration.

References org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getProperties().

static synchronized LocalConfiguration org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getInstance (  )  [static]

Returns an instance of the LocalConfiguration, if a previous configuration has already been loaded for local resource, it will be returned.

Returns:
the LocalConfiguration

References org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.LocalConfiguration().

OutputFormat org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getOutputFormat (  )  [virtual]

Returns the default OutputFormat for use with a Serializer.

Returns:
the default OutputFormat

Implements org.exolab.castor.util.Configuration.

Parser org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getParser ( String  features  ) 

Returns an XML document parser implementing the requested set of features. The feature list is a comma separated list of features that parser may or may not support. No errors are generated for unsupported features. If the feature list is not null, it overrides the default feature list specified in the configuration file, including validation and Namespaces.

Parameters:
features The requested feature list, null for the defaults
Returns:
A suitable XML parser

Parser org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getParser (  ) 

Return an XML document parser implementing the feature list specified in the configuration file.

Returns:
A suitable XML parser

Reimplemented from org.exolab.castor.util.Configuration.

NodeType org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getPrimitiveNodeType (  ) 

Returns the NodeType to use for Java primitives. A null value will be returned if no NodeType was specified, indicating the default NodeType should be used.

Returns:
the NodeType assigned to Java primitives, or null if no NodeType was specified.

Reimplemented from org.exolab.castor.util.Configuration.

synchronized Properties org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getProperties (  ) 
RegExpEvaluator org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getRegExpEvaluator (  ) 

Returns a new instance of the specified Regular Expression Evaluator, or null if no validator was specified

Returns:
the regular expression evaluator,

DocumentHandler org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getSerializer ( Writer  output  )  throws IOException [virtual]

Returns a default serializer for producing an XML document to the designated output stream using the default serialization format.

Parameters:
output The output stream
Returns:
A suitable serializer

Implements org.exolab.castor.util.Configuration.

References org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getSerializer().

Serializer org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getSerializer (  )  [virtual]

Returns a default serializer for producing an XML document. The caller can specify an alternative output format, may reuse this serializer across several streams, and may serialize both DOM and SAX events. If such control is not required, it is recommended to call one of the other two methods.

Returns:
A suitable serializer

DocumentHandler org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getSerializer ( OutputStream  output  )  throws IOException [virtual]

Returns a default serializer for producing an XML document to the designated output stream using the default serialization format.

Parameters:
output The output stream
Returns:
A suitable serializer

XMLNaming org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getXMLNaming (  ) 

Returns the naming conventions to use for the XML framework

Returns:

XMLReader org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getXMLReader (  ) 

Returns an XML document parser implementing the requested set of features. The feature list is a comma separated list of features that parser may or may not support. No errors are generated for unsupported features. If the feature list is not null, it overrides the default feature list specified in the configuration file, including validation and Namespaces.

Returns:
A suitable XML parser

Reimplemented from org.exolab.castor.util.Configuration.

XMLReader org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getXMLReader ( String  features  ) 

Returns an XML document parser implementing the requested set of features. The feature list is a comma separated list of features that parser may or may not support. No errors are generated for unsupported features. If the feature list is not null, it overrides the default feature list specified in the configuration file, including validation and Namespaces.

void org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.load (  )  [protected]

Calls getDefault to load the configuration the first time and then looks for a local configuration to merge in with the defaults. Will not complain about inability to load local configuration file from one of the default directories, but if it cannot find the JAR's configuration file, will throw a run time exception.

void org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.loadProperties ( String  fileOrResourceName  )  throws FileNotFoundException

Load the configuration will not complain about inability to load configuration file from one of the default directories, but if it cannot find the JAR's configuration file, will throw a run time exception.

boolean org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.marshallingValidation (  ) 

Returns true if the default configuration specified validation in the marshalling framework.

References org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.getProperties().

boolean org.exolab.castor.util.LocalConfiguration.strictElements (  ) 

Access to the property specifying whether to apply strictness to elements when unmarshalling. Default is true which means that elements appearing in the XML Documnt which cannot be mapped to a class cause a SAXException to be thrown. If set to false, these 'unknown' elements are ignored

Returns:
true if element processing should be "strict".
