Class ConfigurationFactory


  • @Deprecated
    public class ConfigurationFactory
    extends java.lang.Object
    Deprecated.
    Use DefaultConfigurationBuilder instead; this class provides the same features as ConfigurationFactory plus some more; it can also process the same configuration definition files.

    Factory class to create a CompositeConfiguration from a .xml file using Digester. By default it can handle the Configurations from commons- configuration. If you need to add your own, then you can pass in your own digester rules to use. It is also namespace aware, by providing a digesterRuleNamespaceURI.

    Note: Almost all of the features provided by this class and many more are also available for the DefaultConfigurationBuilder class. DefaultConfigurationBuilder also has a more robust merge algorithm for constructing combined configurations. So it is recommended to use this class instead of ConfigurationFactory.

      • getBasePath

        public java.lang.String getBasePath()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the Base path from which this Configuration Factory operates. This is never null. If you set the BasePath to null, then a base path according to the configuration to load is returned.
        Returns:
        The base Path of this configuration factory.
      • setBasePath

        public void setBasePath​(java.lang.String basePath)
        Deprecated.
        Sets the basePath for all file references from this Configuration Factory. Normally a base path need not to be set because it is determined by the location of the configuration file to load. All relative pathes in this file are resolved relative to this file. Setting a base path makes sense if such relative pathes should be otherwise resolved, e.g. if the configuration file is loaded from the class path and all sub configurations it refers to are stored in a special config directory.
        Parameters:
        basePath - The new basePath to set.
