Method Detail

evalProperty

public static java.lang.String evalProperty(java.lang.String propertyName,
                                            java.util.Properties in,
                                            java.util.Properties out)

Evaluates a property in a Properties object. Property values can include references to other properties. In such cases, those references are evaluated. References are indicated by enclosing the name of the referred-to property in "${" and "}".

Parameters:

propertyName - the name of the property to be evaluated

in - the Properties object to evaluate the property in question and all its references

out - if not null, the result of the evaluation is written into this Properties object. It is okay to pass the same Properties object as in and out. In that case, the property will be written over with the resulting value.

PROPERTY_REFERENCE_PREFIX, PROPERTY_REFERENCE_POSTFIX, Properties

evalAllProperties

public static void evalAllProperties(java.util.Properties in,
                                     java.util.Properties out)

Evaluates all properties in a Properties object.

loadImports

public static void loadImports(java.util.Properties p,
                               java.util.Locale locale,
                               java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

loadImports

public static void loadImports(java.util.Properties p)

pipeStream

public static void pipeStream(java.io.InputStream in,
                              java.io.OutputStream out)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Throws:
