Method Detail

getBean

T getBean()

Returns the configuration bean used by this data retriever, typically for manual handling and/or troubleshooting purposes.

Returns:

the configuration bean (Note: it can be null if the Configuration is marked as optional)

getBoolean

Boolean getBoolean(String key)

Returns the Boolean object associated with the specified key.

Parameters:

key - the object key (some implementations may also accept a path expression, e.g: JSONPath)

Returns:

the Boolean object associated with the specified key; null if not found

getInteger

Integer getInteger(String key)

Returns the Integer object associated with the specified key.

Parameters:

key - the object key (some implementations may also accept a path expression, e.g: JSONPath

Returns:

the Integer object associated with the specified key; null if not found

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the value is not a parsable int.

getLong

Long getLong(String key)

Returns the Long object associated with the specified key.

Parameters:

key - the object key (some implementations may also accept a path expression, e.g: JSONPath

Returns:

the Long object associated with the specified key; null if not found

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the value is not a parsable long.

getDouble

the String object associated with the specified key; null if not found

getMandatoryBoolean

Boolean getMandatoryBoolean(String key)

Returns the Boolean object associated with the specified key, throwing an exception if not found.

Parameters:

key - the object key (some implementations may also accept a path expression, e.g: JSONPath)

the Boolean value associated with the specified key; never null

Throws:

ConfigurationException - if the specified key (or path) is not found.

Since:

0.4.0

getMandatoryInteger
