Fedora 39: apache-commons-configuration 2024-fa7b758114
Summary
The Commons Configuration software library provides a generic
configuration interface which enables a Java application to read
configuration data from a variety of sources. Commons Configuration
provides typed access to single, and multi-valued configuration
parameters as demonstrated by the following code:
Double double = config.getDouble("number");
Integer integer = config.getInteger("number");
Configuration parameters may be loaded from the following sources:
- Properties files
- XML documents
- Windows INI files
- Property list files (plist)
- JNDI
- JDBC Datasource
- System properties
- Applet parameters
- Servlet parameters
Configuration objects are created using configuration builders.
Different configuration sources can be mixed using a
CombinedConfigurationBuilder and a CombinedConfiguration. Additional
sources of configuration parameters can be created by using custom
configuration objects. This customization can be achieved by extending
AbstractConfiguration or AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration.
