Class EnhConfigFileProcessor

java.lang.Object
com.nt.udc.util.EnhConfigFileProcessor
public class EnhConfigFileProcessor extends Object
This class is very similar to the existing ConfigFileProcessor class, except for the few enhancements that allow for easier dealings with the config file. Currently, this class provides 2 extra features over the ConfigFileProcessor: - Values of a setting are stored as a String[], instead of a String. This means that for all values, seperated with ",", the stored form of the value(s) is a String array. This allows easier use for a single value, and eliminates the requirement to parse for a value every time. - Allows simple variable substitution in the configuration file. This means the user may reference PREVIOUSLY DEFINED configuration settings in their setting with the following syntax: $(previous_setting_name) For example, the result of setting2 is the value of setting1: setting1 thisvalue setting2 $(setting1) Multiple references work as well: setting1 thisvalue setting2 $(setting1) setting3 $(setting2) If an undefined setting is referenced, the resulting value will be null.
