Class Configuration

  com.ddtek.xmlconverter.Configuration

public class Configuration

extends Object

A Configuration object contains user settable policies that govern certain aspects of the conversion process.

Each ConverterFactory contains a Configuration object which can be modified by the application; any changes affect all Converter objects created subsequently from that ConverterFactory.

When the user creates a Converter object from the ConverterFactory, the Converter object gets a copy of the factory's Configuration. This copy can also be modified by the application if desired.

The Configuration object is fully Thread-safe, however if one Thread modifies a Configuration object, that may affect the behavior of another Thread's conversion which is using the same Configuration.

Constructor Detail

Method Detail

getMaxBufferSize

public int getMaxBufferSize()

Get the current size limit for the memory buffer.

setMaxBufferSize

public void setMaxBufferSize(int value)

Set the maximum size limit for the memory buffer. The value UNLIMITED_BUFFER indicates that the memory buffer can grow without limit. Any positive value is used as the size limit for the memory buffer. The default value is 1MB.

getBufferOverflowPolicy

public int getBufferOverflowPolicy()

Get the current value of the memory buffer overflow policy.

setBufferOverflowPolicy

public void setBufferOverflowPolicy(int value)

Set the memory buffer overflow policy. Permitted values are:

• ABORT: If the buffer overflows, abort the conversion and throw an exception
• USE_TEMP_FILE: If the buffer overflows, continue the conversion using a temp file for additional data.

The default is USE_TEMP_FILE.

getTempFilePolicy

public int getTempFilePolicy()

Get the current value of the temp file policy.

setTempFilePolicy

public void setTempFilePolicy(int value)

Set the temp file policy. Permitted values are:

• ABORT: If a temp file is required but cannot be created, abort the conversion and throw an exception.
• USE_MEMORY: If a temp file is required but cannot be created, use an unlimited memory buffer.

The default is ABORT.

setProperty

public void setProperty(String property,
                        String value)

Set a property which affects the behavior of an XML Converter. Currently, there are no supported properties.

Parameters:

property - The property name.

value - The property value.

getProperty

public String getProperty(String property,
                          String defaultValue)

Get the current value of a property which affects the behavior of an XML Converter. Currently, there are no supported properties.

Parameters:

property - The property name.

defaultValue - The default value if the property is not set.

Returns:

The value associated with the property name.

getConverterListener

public ConverterListener getConverterListener()

Return the current ConverterListener

Returns:

Returns the current error handling object, or null if no handler is set and the default error handling action should be taken.

setConverterListener

public void setConverterListener(ConverterListener listener)

Set a ConverterListener

Parameters:

listener - The ConverterListener object, or null to revert to the default error handling behavior. If an error handler is set at the ConverterFactory level, then each instance of a Converter created by that factory will share the same instance of the ConverterListener set here.
