Class PropertyGroup

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    MockPropertyGroup
    public class PropertyGroup
extends Object
    This class represents a collection of properties - a property group. This could be the entire set of properties resulting from loading the configuration, or it could be just a sub-structure within the overall config hierarchy, as a property group can contain other property groups. Internally, there is a JsonObject which holds the actual group of properties and this class provides a high-level API for accessing properties in a hierarchical manner.

          Splits a potentially hierarchical property name into the individual path elements

        • getPropertySubGroup

          protected javax.json.JsonObject getPropertySubGroup​(String[] pathElements)
          This function will find the JSON "sub object" rooted at "this.jsonObj" that is associated with the specified hierarchical property name.

          For example, consider the following JSON structure: 

           {
     "level1":{
         "level2":{
             "myProperty":"myValue"
         }
     }
 }
          If this function was invoked with a property name of "level1/level2/myProperty", then the result will be the JsonObject associated with the "level2" field within the JSON structure above.
          Parameters:
          pathElements - an array of path elements that make up the hierarchical property name (e.g. {"level1", "level2", "myProperty"})
          Returns:
          the JsonObject sub-structure that contains the specified property.
